update- Thyrogen ? - pain factor

[Guest guest]

Hello, and how is everyone out there in computer land? I just came back from

my endo. appointment It was your standard - exam of the thyroid no longer in

existance, blood check, etc. Thankfully, I love my endo. He wants to see

where my levels are, and he'll get back to me, as usual.

He mentioned that in my very soon future he sees a scan being done. It'll be

my first ! (Should I be this excited??) Anyhow, he mentioned that sometimes

he uses a shot given in 2 doses (which I have assumed to be Thyrogen), or

sometimes the use of Cytomel. He seems a little too perky when talking about

the Thyrogen shot, and that he has had much success with it, leading me to

believe that may be what he plans for me. From anyone who has had them, I

have to ask, do they hurt??I assume the shot only takes a few seconds. I

didn't want to seem like a 4 yr old asking him if they hurt, but I know I can

ask all of you out there across the world and beyond absolutely anything!
