Hi, my name is Isabelle. I'm French and I live in England.
I've had Graves disease for the last 2 years. The English doctors advise me to go through treatment with radioactive iodine 131 but the French have found out that I have a slight thyroid eye disease in the left eye (exopthalmos). Apparently it wouldn't be a good idea to get the iodine 131 treatment.
Is there anyone who have Graves disease, a slight eye problem but still went through radioactivity?
Isabelle.
