MS and Thyroids

Hello folks, hope you've all had a good week. My wife was diagnosed with RRMS back in early 2020, shortly after having been diagnosed with - and treated for - acute Graves disease.

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.

Lemtrada and thyroid

Hi everybody, I've not posted here for ages and this isn't totally MS-related but maybe somebody here is in a similar position. I was treated with Lemtrada 2015-2016.
