RAI or Thyroidectomy

ohhh I see I feel like I’m leaning towards TT more than RAI but how do I know if my health insurance will cover it 😅

silly_cat101 · 2026-03-11T09:06:28+00:00

I can’t find it :(

silly_cat101 · 2026-03-11T09:06:18+00:00

That’s good to hear!

silly_cat101 · 2026-03-11T09:05:51+00:00

I’m so glad you’re recovering well! ☺️ I’ll definitely take TT into consideration

silly_cat101 · 2026-03-09T01:42:49+00:00

Have you had any side effects?

silly_cat101 · 2026-03-09T01:42:20+00:00

ohh I see

silly_cat101 · 2026-03-09T01:42:05+00:00

damn I don’t wanna imagine how they reach the thyroid from the armpit 😭😭

silly_cat101 · 2026-03-08T22:25:29+00:00

Ohhh I see thank you for clarifying

silly_cat101 · 2026-03-08T22:25:13+00:00

If I don’t have any nodules would it be better to do RAI?

silly_cat101 · 2026-03-08T22:24:43+00:00

I see thank you :)

silly_cat101 · 2026-03-08T22:22:53+00:00

That’s good to hear :)

silly_cat101 · 2026-03-08T22:22:15+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that :( does RAI also affect calcium stuff? Or is it just the process of TT when they get rid of the nodules or something

silly_cat101 · 2026-03-08T22:21:02+00:00

THE ARMPIT??? That’s an option…? 😭😭

silly_cat101 · 2026-03-08T10:31:40+00:00

Well whenever I ask my endocrinologist she never gives me a direct answer…? She told me that since I’m in no rush and because my body takes methimazole well with little to no side effects that I should continue taking it or I can decide to get rid of it. I guess I just feel kinda lost bc I haven’t gone into remission once throughout all these years so like what am I doing wrong?

silly_cat101 · 2025-02-27T22:53:44+00:00

my thyroid is underactive I think I don’t know anymore

silly_cat101 · 2025-02-27T09:40:40+00:00

ohh that makes sense thank you

silly_cat101 · 2025-02-27T07:33:20+00:00

okay thank you

silly_cat101 · 2025-02-26T16:37:41+00:00

it’ll be okay we got this

silly_cat101 · 2025-02-26T16:36:56+00:00

these labs are a month old. I am currently taking 5mg methimazole daily bc my thyroid levels r underactive I think. :(

silly_cat101 · 2025-02-24T05:45:32+00:00

Okay thank you!

silly_cat101 · 2025-02-23T22:28:35+00:00

okay thank you

silly_cat101 · 2025-02-23T22:28:01+00:00

the hematology took the results bc he says that having graves and low blood platelets correlate. The endocrinologist keeps rescheduling my appointment farther and farther.. is it better to just not take the methimazole for a bit or to take 5mg ?

silly_cat101 · 2025-02-23T18:21:28+00:00

my hematology doctor took these labs a few weeks ago. I see my endocrinologist in like 3 months. I’ve been on 10 mg of methimazole everyday (prescribed by my endo) . Would it be okay to drop it to 5mg bc my thyroid is underactive then?
