TSH Low

I went to the doctor because I've been feeling really tired lately. My test result came back with a TSH of <0.01. I was told by the doctor I needed to see a endocronologist right away. I've been having problems getting an appointment. Most doctors won't see me for another month (Nov or Dec). Is this something I should wait or should I try to see if I can get an emergency appointment.

You need to visit your gp and tell him that you have to wait so long for an appointment with an endo.
Insist on medication. Patients shouldn't be left unmedicated when diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Your gp will most likely prescribe you proprananol. These will help with your symptoms until hyper meds kick in.
If he won't prescribe ask for him to refer you to an endo, that will cut down the waiting time.
Best of luck to you. Yorkylass.

Did you get your free T4 or Free T3 tested?

If not I think this should be your next step.

Your TSH is surpressed and indicates hyperthyroidism.

Go back to your gp and insist you have you Free T's tested, and antibodys to give a better picture if what is happening.

Once tested your gp is perfectly capable of prescribing you meds until you get an appointment to see an endo.

Have you any other symptoms?
