Your doctor must hav: You must have been given some instructions by the treating doctor...Were you not? If you were not, do you have their phone number? Please ask such questions when you are with your doctor. From the top of my head, the radioactive iodine is not a dangerous material for others. So you do not need to isolate yourself after 24 hours have passed. Please seek advice from your doctor about synthroid (thyroxine) as.

No problem: The radioactivity is usually mostly excreted in 48-72 hours. Can usually restart T4 in a week, but check with your endocrinologist.
