I asked my specialist if it could have anything to do with pressure from the thyroid .She appeared to think I was talking rubbish and tried to pressurise me into having RAI.Has anyone else had this problem?

Have you got any nodules on your thyroid?Have you had an ulra sound scan of your thyroid?
Do ypu know what your thyroid hormones levels are by any chance?

I am a nurse and I live in the USA. I have hypothyroidism.
RAI will kill the thyroid gland off. You will then be on replacement hormone for life. It is not usually done unless they see no other way. I would ask for an Ultrasound of the thyroid to see if a nodule is pressing. You could also see a doctor who is called an ENT (Ears, Nose, Throat), and he could put a scope down and see if the vocal chords are okay and if there is a growth there.
I hope this helps,
Shelly
