Welcome to the forum kora4

So we can offer better advice, can you tell us more about your thyroid condition, eg when you were diagnosed, ongoing symptoms(other than enlarged thyroid), current medication & dosage, plus blood test results (with ranges in brackets) for:

TSH

FT3

FT4

Plus any antibody and key vitamin tests (ferritin, folate, vitamins D and B12)

Hello Kora and welcome to the forum :

There is nothing on your Profile page so it's difficult to know what to advise you BUT strongly suggest you read up on RAI thyroid ablation in light of the research listed under :-

Thanks interesting read

In my opinion, avoid RAI ablation at all costs
