Hyperthyroidism

I have been diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid. Scan by endocrinologist has confirmed it as Graves Disease; he has prescribed antithyroid drug carbimazole and beta blockers. However progress is slow; he has suggested radioactive iodine treatment if present therapy does not work. He is confident that my flying status will not be affected after radioiodine treatment. Would certainly appreciate any input, advice or prior experience with this condition by fellow ppruners.
