Had over active thyroid, unusual side effect with pottassium being stripped
from body resulting in complete paralysis to legs and arms  diagnosed with
graves   1999 , stabilised with pills then had RAI in 2000, no problems so
far but have to take 50 mgs thyroxin daily to keep stabilised which is ok.

keep positive and get lots of info, James
