If you had RAI, then you still have your thyroid. You have a left side and a right side. One side can swell more than the other at times......Your thyroid should atrophy (shrink) after some time. Thyroiditis is when the thyroid swells and sometimes secretes extra hormone in your system.
Are you producing a normal amount of saliva? Are your salivary glands swollen or sore? Have your doctor check that.
Hopefully some others here will see this post. Stella had RAI and knows it well.  :)
