A member asked:
Im on my 9th month on anti thyroid meds and the results are getting better. do i still need to have the rai?

If your levels: Are normalizing on anti-thyroid drugs, you might as well just stay on them. Rai is always a potential tx, but you would need to be off the current meds for weeks to months before it can be administered. Check w/your doctor.
