Have you had your adrenals checked yet?  I also had the rai and it's been 5
yrs for me and I'm still not stable yet.  But I'm a hard case too.  :)  After
going very hypo I took some natural adrenal rather the usual cortef or
cortisone.  It worked for me but I was also very fatigued. Just a thought.
Also, my female hormone became very scrwed up after RAI and a tsh of 147.
Don't know if it was just my age or the thyroid problems or what.  Maybe you
need to check that as well?
