And lo, Cronk arose on wings of pure gold, and he did speak to the faithful, and it was good.

# Nicely.
That Iodine-131 can be a cunt. See: Chernobyl and the wrongful (too late) distribution of Potassium Iodide.

They love giving it to thyroid patients.

# Uh huh uh huh. I wouldn't know.
I do know that the doses given to people in Pripyat emitted 25R (outdated measure of dose, I know) internally, and 25R externally per hour and Potassium Iodide only served to seal it in, not keep it out.

Anyway - I'm off now. TATAAAR.

# Just take this little pill and all will be well
It will only destroy your thyroid which was never diseased in the first fucking place.

Thank fuck I had the sense to realise the 'shoot the messenger' approach was a nonsense.

# It's much easier to treat an underactive thyroid rather than overactive,
so they do tend towards overkill.
Unless it's thyroid cancer, in which case they practically nuke the thing.

# In my book
the only reason to zap a thyroid is when it's cancerous.

Overkill is putting it mildly. Anti thyroid drugs are extremely effective in so many patients yet so many are not given the option and are advised to have a healthy gland killed forever with RAI.

It's a fucking disgrace and makes my blood boil.

# I don't really know about other treatments for overactive thyroids.
Over here, they never try to destroy a thyroid unless it's cancerous. The glands remaining production can then be supplemented with hormone replacement drugs, which is apparently easy and relatively side-effect free.
I do seem to remember something about the drugs used to treat overactive thyroids having more significant side effects.

# There are very many people in the UK who've had their healthy thyroid zapped
as a first resort.
This was just a few years ago and have things really changed that much?
Anyway, I'd best not use this board for a prolonged rant on this :)

# I suppose it depends on whether you call an overactive gland healthy.
Anyway, this is all the Doctor's decision. By the time it gets to us it's all been agreed with.
I generally trust them to advise properly on the best treatment.

# Oh I am not pointing a finger at the men in the lead coats!
And by the way, most problems with thyroids are caused by antibodies and the thyroids are merely reacting to them because they (the antibodies) cleverly mask themselves (like ninjas) as blocking or stimulating messages to produce more/less T4.
