Not sure if this has already been posted, but possible Thyrogen shortage???

Did anyone hear about this?  After my treatment dose of RAI in March, I found out from my endo that I will be a candidate for Thyrogen for my next scan.  I was so relieved not to have to go through hypohell again because it was truly awful.  I came across these sites today and am concerned that I might not fall under the set guidelines.

Will that work? It sure would help me.

AJ - if you follow this - please stay in contact with me. I too will be watching it but could use a hand to also stay up on this information. Will you do that for me please?
