Default Has anyone out there had the radioactive pill and body scan to destroy thyroid? - 12-24-2008, 11:36 PM

I have been diagnosed with graves disease related to my thyroid. My endocrynologist wants me to take a radioactive pill and body scan to destroy my thyroid next week. He will then have me on thyroid medicine the rest of my life with periodic blood tests. Has anyone out there experienced this procedure? If so, please discuss it with me.
