    Thyroid Nuclear Scan

    I had the test done and it went well, it was all over with 30 mins. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the dye but the next day I did have a headache for 3 days, not that bad just there to put me off. I see my Doctor next week regarding the results, hope all ok.
