Thank you,
the only treatment I've seen is RAI, with poss. ATM,
I've found a Dr., who suggests laser treatment. What do you think about that?
I'm trying to avoid the RAI, but need to act as I'm having palpatations.
Thank very much

No -- toxic nodule(s) are thyroid nodules that are independently producing excess hormone and causing hyperthyroidism.  Graves is another cause of hyperthyroidism where the immune system "tricks" the thyroid into making excess hormone.
