I've had the TT in January 2010 due to Graves disease and Papillary Thryoid Cancer.
I was assured by my endocrinolgist and surgeon that after the surgery my Graves symptoms will not come back - and they haven't. My eye issues were minor (gritty, dry, sand in eye feeling and very little enlargement) but they have gotten much better after the surgery.
I am the same...RAI & TT (june and Sept. 2008) and my antibodies went into remission.
I had watery eyes for a few weeks after RAI but also had them before RAI.
As long as your levels are stable , then there should be no reason why you shouldnt concieve but you may need more T4 med whilst pregnant and be monitored closely.
Thank you. I saw my endro yesterday and she gave the go-ahead. She was just a bit concerned about my calcium. She said we will have to watch that quite closely.
Make sure yout Thyroid eye disease is monitored by an opthamologist. I had the RAI/TT, & my eyes remained the same with slight enlargement, dry eyes, gritty, burning, & this has been for the last 15yrs. I do use a lot of eye drops & eye oniment (sp?).
I am personally going to have eye surgery for my graves disease in two weeks , and plastic surgery to fix the lower eye lid. any advise would be appreciated or concerns i should no about, thanks
