A member asked:

I went to a endocrinologist about a radio iodine treatment and everyone there was old, would the treatment be good for my age? or i'm overreacting?

Thyroid issues: Your problem has no age limit. Graves disease can start in young individuals like yourself. Those 'old' people may have other problems, like diabetes and other issues that the endocrinologist also treats.
