Anyone have side effects from Thyrogen?

Hi everyone!

Day 3 of the LID and all is well. On Mon. And Tues., I get the Thyrogen injections.  Did anyone have any problems with the shots? Did you need anyone to drive you? I was told to stay on the synthroid the entire time, thank God. Hopefully the side effects will be minimal.

Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    I was told of a few side effects (headaches I think, was one) but I didn't experience any. I've had two separate doses of two shots and no side effects. Hope you have a similar experience.
