i do have an overactive thyroid and can't take the medication so i have to have the radioactive iodine treatment. My Consultant thinks the sickness and night sweats are being caused by something else

I had overactive thyroid (Graves Disease, Hyperthyroidism). It was treated with a medication called Methimazole, I think. I always thought that radioactive iodine treatment would completely obliterate thyroid function. Is that not true? What does your consultant think is causing your sickness and night sweats? Has any treatment been offered to you that may help?
