I coldn't leave the bed or the couch, go to work, take showers some days - it was as if I were 100 years old. The next time I had to go off meds for the scan a year later, my insurance approved Thyrogen and it allowed me to have my life over the 5-6 weeks that I would have had to suffer through. From what I understand, not a lot of insurance companies approve this, but Aetna did. In spite of their other issues, that one approval made up for everything. I hope you get your Thyrogen approval, it really does allow you to live like a normal humanbeing during scans.Kris Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003811101288544567noreply@blogger.com
