[quote=Anonymous]I had the radioactive iodine treatment in 1995. My father had had Graves years before(it runs in my family). He had tried the medication unsuccesfully and then had the RAI, so that's what he advised. The docs concurred, mainly because I had not had my children yet. I was told it would be easier to monitor my levels when I was pregnant if I had the RAI done. The actual tx was not that bad. I have found, though, that it made me more sensitive to medications and their side effects - like it altered the chemistry in my body. I go to the dr. once a year to get checked. My weight is stable and I really don't think about this dx unless I am listing my meds or medical history for some reason.[/quote]
