Hi, My mom (age 46) has been having hyperthyroidism for over 20 years .She had a thyroid surgery about 18 years ago. Since then she's been weaker and have severe back pain .Lately, her T3 &T4 level has been increasing and she has difficulties in breathing. She visited the doctors and the doctors suggested her to consume radioactive iodine, she declined because she know that she'll become weaker and now she's having a throat pain for about 2 weeks, what will you guys suggest to make the throat pain to go away. I'm literally so scared, she's my everything. I want her to watch me walking along the wedding aisle take care of her grandchild Doctors or people who has been experiencing this sickness, please give some suggestion.
