The radioactive iodine is slowing down her thyroid production.  She should be monitored routinely to see if her thyroid needs supplementation.  By all means her symptoms are probably 99% due to the reduction in thyroid function.  Call the doc TODAY and get an appointment IMMEDIATELY!  IMO, the doctor has been very negligent in not monitoring this more closely and not telling you what to look for.
