Do I have hyperthyroidism

by Kathy362, Jun 17, 2008 04:57PM
I went to the doctor for anxiety, weight loss, fatigue, GI problems, flushing, nervous feelings and weakness in my legs.  Labs were done and my TSH 3rd Generation level is .03L,  T4 Free is 1.9 and T3 Free is 371.  My primary doctor said I need to see an endocrinologist.  The earliest appointment I can get is two weeks out.  I called my primary back and asked if there is anything she can do to help because I do not feel well at all but she said I had to wait to see the endo.  With these lab results does it look like my thyroid is hyperactive?  Is two weeks OK to wait.  I also have Sjogren's Syndrome.

2 weeks is too long to wait, IMHO. Your ## could continue dropping causing all sorts of problems. I do not understand why your dr would not treat you, but this will just promote  your period of feeling bad the longer it goes untreated.


Do you have another doc you could go see?

Maybe you can call your dr back insisting on treatment due to symptoms.
Best wishes...
