Guest guest Posted November 11, 1999 Report Share Posted November 11, 1999 Well it's been about 3 weeks since I had RAI. The endo has me on a prescription of Prednisone. Prednisone is a oral cortisone and she said it should keep the eye probs from getting worse post RAI. I looked it up on the internet and found a study that was done with prednisone and RAI. One group of people with Grave's had RAI alone, and another group of people with Grave's had prednisone with RAI. The Grave's people that had RAI alone- 12% reported worsening or new eye probs post RAI, The Grave's people that had RAI along with Prednisone-67% reported improvement with their eyes. I have the prescription for 3 mos. and I'll see how it goes. Has anyone else taken Prednisone after RAI, and if so how did it go?
