    I'm so happy that you are sharing this info! 13 years ago I found out that I had hyper thyroid nodules. I did not want radio active iodine so I searched. I found ethyl alcohol ablation. I've had 3 treatments over 13 years and insurance is still calling it experimental. I am proof that it works. I am once again hyper and have heard that this is better. I will be checking it out. Once again, thank you for posting. People should know that they have healthy options.

    Hey Jen I thought ethanol was dangerous? Or maybe it’s ethanol oxide I’m thinking about.

    • @ItsmeJenagain
      @ItsmeJenagain  วันที่ผ่านมา

      Ethanol is dangerous, but when it's injected into cysts, it is contained inside and causes the lining to scar over so that it doesn't continue to fill with fluid.

    Hello, i'm from lebanon and im going tgrough the exact state you are talking about i have thyroid nodules that has an enlargement from 2 cm to 4 in the right side and a small one in the left i'm 32 and been dealing with this after i had covid in 2019. So i really wanna avoid the surgery cuz all the docs say it has to be completely removed and am going through complications cuz of the size if nodule such as difficulty un breathing and swallowing and some throat pains maybe caused by the nodule.. i dnt think the treatment you're talking abt can exist in Lebanon tho :(. what should i do??

    I hate that in 2023 RFA is still NOT covered under insurance. Why, if it’s FDA approved?

    • @ItsmeJenagain
      @ItsmeJenagain  ปีที่แล้ว

      It is FDA cleared, it just doesn't have CPT code yet. Some insurances will cover, but it is inconsistent. I agree that it is a shame that we haven't made more progress since 2018 when RFA first became available in the US.
