No one tells you that RAI might have some affect on your parathyroids! I recently had to have a parathyroidectomy for parathyroid adenoma. Everyone that has this treatment should be made aware of this disease…primary hyperparathyroidism. The parathyroid and thyroid are “cousins” and they can be damaged during thyroid removal surgery too. RAI is listed as cause #3 on the parathyroid.com website. https://www.parathyroid.com/causes.htm

Same for me Kay. I had my thyroid radiated 25 years ago after an accident that resulted a very stressful situation and brought in Graves. It has been the worst roller coaster ride ever. I can’t ever remember feeling like my old self. Now menopausal, its even more of a challenge. I feel the struggle that no one understands. I wish i never had it removed, wish I was better informed of my options. I feel like I’ve been handed a very miserable fate, even though I do my best to hide how much it pains me.
