Hot thyroid nodule on underside of the thyroid.

I have been left with a hot thyroid nodule on the underside left of my thyroid following an operation. I have insomnia, slower speech, forgetting to turn taps off,slower brain function.

I would like to have radioactive iodine 131 treatment to kill off the nodule. Is there anyone in the community that can recommend someone or somewhere I can get this done.

Are the increased thyroud levels being treated with carbimazole / PTU?

Was the operation on thyroid? What was the previous issue?

RAI will be taken up by all of thyroid. It won’t be confined to just the nodule? So majority become hypothyroid after treatment.

Which country are in?
