Help from anyone that had Thyrogen shots before?

[K2kids]

It's been a while since I posted last, but still having Thyroid issues. I will be having the Thyrogen shots in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if anyone can give me their experience with the shot? I'm not sure what to expect? All I was told that I will have the shot given in 2 day intervals and I will go for blood work in 5 days from the 1st shot? Does anyone know if I will be tired more than usual? I have a very physically demanding job, so I don't know how I am going to feel while getting the shots? I would like any kind of feed back you can give me. Thanks in advance.

Hello! New to this site. Taking my second shot today (this is my second round of shots) and it was a little better the second time around. I did feel nausea after a few hours after and it resolved by the evening. I have my second shot today and then my big dose of radiation the day after. I am nervous!

Thanks Margie. I also am seeing a new endo in late June. The one I see now is not any help no matter what you say to him. I wish you good luck with your new doc. Take care.
