Graves Disease

Hi all, I need some advice. I had Lemtrada in 2016/17 and have had an awful time of it with ITP last year and Graves Disease this year. After speaking with the Endocrinologist today he has offered either Radioactive Iodine or the surgery. Has anyone had experiences with this? Please help.
