I was diagnosed with a hyperthyroid, Graves Disease in May. We tried a betablocker, Toprol ad Methimazole an antithyroid medicine. A month into this blood work looked great but I broke out into hives. The next option is radioactive iodine and synthetic hormone treatment. what are the risks of this treatment and what are any other alternative treatment?

Thank you.
