What is cost of radioactive iodine treatment for hyperthyroidism?
I was just searching for the answer to this question up online a second ago:). turns out i found an answer. This person said that it costed him $350 CAD, but his total was actually $1500 CAD. The bill was so high because of the normal check-ups and the test they do for you before you take the Radioactive iodine to determine the amount of iodine that is right for you. I had Peachtree Insurance for 5 years and so far i have had Coventary Insurance for 2 years. With insurance, it costs $55 USD per visit here in Georgia where i live. Once my mom forgot the insurance card and she had to pay $50 USD for my medicine when it was actually supposed to cost around 6 dollars per prescription. So hey, the safe thing to do is get yourself some insurance before you do it if you don't have one just to save you money.
Is there a cure for toxic goiter which is also known as hyperthyroidism?
Whether a hyperthyroid condition may be "cured" depends entirely upon the reason the thyroid is dysfunctional. If excess iodine is the cause, then reducing the amount of iodine in the diet is usually sufficient. If autoimmune thyroid disease is the problem, there is no cure, however there are treatments. If a *hot* thyroid nodule is creating too much thyroid hormone, removing the nodule is often sufficient to elimiate the problem.
AnswerTechnically, there is no cure, because hyperthyroidism is just a symptom of other problems. (There is surgical removal, but this is not as harmless as many would have you believe.) I have provided a link to help you begin your research for alternative treatments in the 'Larry On Hyperthyroidism' link in the related links below. Make certain you avoid iodine, and that means iodized table salt in particular. I cannot believe I am saying this... but the fluoride in tap water can actually help you to suppress the thyroid by the fluoride's neutralization of your body's iodine. I recommend consuming a couple of teaspoons of coconut oil (coconut butter) a day. This helps shield the thyroid from the toxic effects of the bad fats you eat. There almost certainly needs to be a few changes in diet. Avoid all artificial sweeteners (in particular aspartame) because they will increase your risk of your already increased risk of eventually developing Parkinson's Disease.Why would a sensitive lump be right in the middle of your neck in the front?
It's important you see your doctor. It could be a thyroid disorder or simply you have accidentally bruised the larynx. Don't second-guess and get into to your doctor ASAP.
