ya I had RAI December 17th I actually just hung up on my drs medical assistant they cant keep everything together, and me as a patient should not have to be extra nice to them to get answers., I said that politely. she said my dr said that I am at low normal range and forgot I was on levotharoxin so someday I may need a pill, uh I said im on a pill today is my third day. I said I would prefer a better pill I didn't care if it cost a little more., I have a good doctor the medical assistants  urk me..... the question from that they are trying to say that the RAI only killed the overactive part of my thyroid., well my ths seems normal but t3 and t4 free are low??? just confused y not finish killing it get me on right pill instead of this waiting game ugh  =(

Forgot to mention that you've already had RAI, so your thyroid should not be functioning much longer, if it even still is.

Not necessarily, but possibly.  What brings this question?
