I am suffering from hashimotos toxicosis. Where time to time I get hyper symptoms and hypo symptoms. I am scared if RAI will make me hypo and I will gain weight? Would it make me slow?

Thanks Javier

I had RAI 11 days ago for Graves Disease - nothing to it - it was just like drinking water - then I was sent home.

I felt great for the first 6 days but for the past 5 days I have felt hyper again and have lost quite a bit of weight.

Waiting for my doctor to get back to me.
