OT-anyone else? UPDATE IN BLUE

[soymujer]

I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago.  I thought I was going through perimenopause so the doctor did blood tests for hormones and thyroid.  I finally got a hold of them today, somehow, they didn't have my correct phone number, and they said that I have a hyperactive thyroid.   So, now I have to see the specialist.  The nurse is supposed to fill out the paperwork and the send it to him and they'll call with an appointment.  Anyone been through this?

I wish now I was going through perimenopause.

I go to the specialist tomorrow to see what the course of action.  All the research I have done says leads to surgery.  Something I don't want because every time I have had surgery, something went wrong, nothing major but my scars are bigger than other people who have had the same surgery.

No one has had this or know anyone who has?

My thyroid is the other way. I am hypo. which means its harder to lose weight. I didn't see a specialist just my regular doctor and meds for the rest of my life.

Well, it was ordered by my regular doctor to see the specialist.

I had labs done and it showed hyperactive thyroid... My grandma has it too. But the Dr wanted to test it again in 6 weeks before putting me on meds. We tested again and it was normal, she said stress can cause the thyroid to be over active, I must have been overly stressed at that time. That is all the info I have.
