Hi everybody,
I know this is a very common question but i am kind of freaking out on the side effects thyrogen injections might have. Talking to my doctor he said the only drawback is the high price. It was really an awful experience for me going hypo during my RAI treatment and i really want to do what is best for me and my 13 month old daughter.

My insurance paid for the injections and I had no side effects at all. Would do it again in a heartbeat to avoid the hypo hell.
Good luck!

My doctor said that she hasn't had any patients have any serious side effects. I go for my first injection on Monday.

I wish I was even given the option of having the injections rather than go through the past 6 weeks of Hypo Hell that I have gone through. My poor kids too as I have been an emotional wreck and have had so many side effects that I haven't even driven a car for the past month!!!! Good luck to you.
