Graves disease, radioactive iodine and prognosis

Thanks so much for that information! Did you ever take methimazole? What you describe at the beginning is pretty much how I was when I was diagnosed (well, except I wasn’t super skinny because I’m overweight to start with). I could barely function. I took propranolol for a while at first, but then methimazole brought my thyroid under control, so I was able to stop the propranolol, though I did have to go back on it for a bit last summer. I’m so glad that the treatment worked so well for you. It sounded kind of scary when my endocrinologist was describing it, but it sounds like it’s not really that bad!
