I am going to the doctor on Friday, January 3rd to have tests done concerning hypothryoidism, hyperthyroidism, Grave's disease, and such...
I have searched all of SW for these topics and have learned so much and have been all over WebMD and various other sites concerning this...
It was suggested to me by my family doctor when I was 17 that I may be either hypo or hyper but the doctor saw no cause for alarm and didn't do further testing...I am now (at age 25) beginning to notice and have become very concerned about my increasing anxiety and depression (very mild and have up untill lately been able to control it without meds), fatigue, hair loss (though not sure if it is just 'normal' shedding as i have no bald spots and my hair is rather long...), in-ability to gain weight ( I maintain a weight of 110-120 w/o exercise but would like to 'fill out' lol), and insomnia (as i write this I haven't been to sleep since I woke up at noon on Monday and have worked 8-9 hrs each day)...
I was just wondering if any of you had any advice for when I go to see the doctor...I've done a massive amount of research, but would really love to hear from people living with this/these conditions and are being treated. I just want to be as prepared as possible for my appointment and I'm sure there's got to be more info out there other than that I've already found.
Please feel free to PM me if you would prefer.
Thank you so much SW.
