After RAI, it can take up to a year for the thyroid to completely die off. As it's dying off, dying cells dump thyroid hormone into the blood, making you still feel hyper. Of course, you will see improvement along the way. We're all different, so it's impossible to give you a timeframe.
You will eventually become hypothyroid, so watch for symptoms to change, indicating you may need to start meds.
and I am not taking any thryroid meds .. advised to eat lot of fresh fruits ..

Have you had thyroid blood work since having your RAI? Please post those results with reference ranges (they vary lab to lab and have to come from your own lab report). Are you taking thyroid meds? If so which ones and at what dosage?
