TSH-TA= < 0.02, free T4 2.37

The topic numbers are my lab results from a couple of weeks ago (more blood was taken) I have an enlarged right side of the thyroid.
I was refered out to an endocrinologist.. that appointment isn't until May 19th.   Ultrasound of thyorid is the 15th (April)
Might anyone know what I can be doing in the mean time to feel bettter?  I'm tired after being awake 6 hours.. have intermittent vertigo/dizzyness, the palpatations when trying to go to sleep, weight gain ::rolls eyes::: though no change in food consumption and annoying constipation.  I've been vegetarian since 1994 and can't remember the last time I was constipated. .. I am consuming fiber beverages and flax oil .. its helping a little.
oh.. and unlike most hyperthyroid folks, I'm not warm all the time.. I'm usually cold unless I'm having a hotflash.

ok.. no iodized salt.  I don't think I'm getting iodine anywhere else than salt.. no seafood and I dislike kelp.
Thanks.

Try to limt your iodine intake as much as possible.

Do not overly exert yourself, and drink plenty of fluids.
