HI
I had a rupture and clipping 4 years ago, had 5 cerebral angeograms total and numerous CT scans and x-rays since then and will have to continue to have since I have small aneurysms remaining. I have developed a condition called Hashiomoto's Thyroiditis, which is an autoimmune condition that causes the thyroid to not function properly, I don't know if this was caused by all the radiation I have had in the last 4 years, but I wouldn't be surprised if it contributed to it in some way. I can't take the thyroid suppliment to help this condition since it bumps up my heart rate and BP. I'm in the process of doc visits to see what else I can do for this,
Ruthie
