I was just diagnosed with Grave's Disease, severely overactive thyroid. Doctor wanted to A. give me radio active iodine and killl the thyroid and have me take hormone replacemetns forever, I opted for choice B : Meds for 1.5 yrs, hoping that the disease will go into remission.

If not, THEN, I guess I can zap it. All pretty depressing though..except for the fact that since going on the medicine, my sugars have been unbelievably good. No swings, no low/high, high/low...
