When I started the Thyrogen injections it was like having the flu, then after the second one I actually passed out, and they couldn't get a blood pressure and they would not let me get the 3rd or the radiation iodine treatment I was scheduled for. Said if my numbers change they will figure out how to get me the treatment. So this year when the wbs time came, they took me off the meds, blood pressure dropped very low, heart palpitations, very lethargic so spent a lot of time laying around and sleeping, very fatigued and had a hard time concentrating or keeping track of my thoughts. To bring up my blood pressure they did give me some medication and it came up to 70/60.

I got the first Thyrogen injection when they first came out. Had a few more as the years went on. Never had a reaction. My Dr told me if I didn’t have the new injection , it would feel like you were a slug. I really feel for you to have to go thru that.
