My thyroid uptake scan Measured 82% even distribution no hot or cold nodules cost ant with Graves.
I131 dose of 17mci if rai contemplated.
I was scared of the rai and started methimazole last week but i have now stopped, thinking I should do rai to get my life back. Is RAI safe and Does rai increase risks with Eye bulging in graves pts? I am confused and scared of the RAI. In your opinion what is my best choice for treatment?
Thank you.
