Post radioidine treatment

[hyperchick]

I had radioiodine treatment one month ago for over active thyroid.   Since then I have felt progressively worse each day.  I feel very weak and muscles ache.  I have constant red sore throat and achy neck glands.   I also feel very anxious, shakey and suffering hot sweats all the time.   I am awaiting blood test result post treatment.  My voice has also become very croackey and throat dry.  Is this a normal reaction to the treatment.  Is it possible my thyroid has become more overactive.  I feel really unwell and getting fed up by the day. Any advice please?

My daughter was given radioiodine treatment for hyperthyroid two months ago.  Since then her throat has been tight and sore and now she has sore neck at sides and back of neck.  She  is feeling very tired and weak. She is very hypothyroid now and on thyroxine.  Her Lymph glands are swollen.  Has anyone else experienced this?

I had RAI in August.  In Sept. I felt very hyper again.  Very normal as the thyroid tends to dump some hormone as it is dying.  When I had bloodwork in Sept, it confirmed that I was pretty hyper.  In fact, the levels were almost as high as they were at my worst hyper point.  It didn't last long and the endo had me back on beta blockers at that point since my T4 went up and TSH was undetectable in Sept.  In Oct. my bloodwork was totally normal and in Nov. severely hypo.  So I think its normal to be hyper after RAI.  When do you have bloodwork?  I also didn't experience any throat issues right after RAI.  A few weeks later however it felt like someone was 'poking' me in the neck.  My voice became hoarse once I became hypothyroid. Bloodwork  should confirm much of how you are feeling.
