    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.

      Get yourself checked out! And don't settle for thyroid surgery until you get opinions from doctors who are trained in thyroid RFA. Many uninformed doctors will advise against it.

      Most surgeons are unfamiliar with these alternatives. You will likely have to pursue this through the known RFA/PEI providers. There is a list in our fb group and on my blog, itsmejenagain.com.

      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.

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??

      You need to ask a provider about your specific implant. For me, I have a lingual wire (permanent retainer) on my upper and lower teeth and it was not a problem. I also did not remove my piercings of wedding rings. Some drs do require you to remove them though.
