I was diagnosed with hyperactive thyroid last year. Responded well to carbimozole and got back to normal levels fairly quickly. Was kept on a low dose for another 8 months but stopped taking medication in Jan this year. Unfortunately started having symptoms again last month and after getting a blood test found out that my hyperthryoidism was back, although not as bad as before. When I saw the consultant yesterday he said that as I had relapsed so quickly we would need to consider other options such as RAI. I am a bit concerned about this as hate the thought of being on medication for the rest of my life and also worried about going underactive and putting on loads of weight. Would love to hear others experiences in relation to RAI.
