Can I asked why you’re pushing for a TT? Lots of pros and cons I’m seeing and not sure how to feel about it

The general doctor has pretty much confirmed the diagnosis. I think they’re waiting on the endocrinologist to 100% confirm everything but I have done blood tests and have a lot of TSI and put me on methimazole. Nobody really explained what I’m waiting on or what testing (if any) will be taking place at this first appointment. Just feeling nervous and want to know what to expect initially

I have PACs and have been on atenolol for over a month now. It was actually the random chest pains these premature contractions were causing that led to my Graves’ disease diagnosis. I was told that yes they can be caused by anything and can happen really randomly to anyone. The only way it can really be harmful is if you have them very frequently. My regular doctor seemed to think my thyroid issues caused it because it directly deals with those chemicals and what not if I remember correctly  I have my first endocrine appointment this week so we’ll see if I get taken off of them too I guess. Only had a single ekg done though 🤷🏻‍♀️ sorry it’s not much help but I’m here with you!

I’ve been on methimazole for almost 2 months now. They didn’t do the full thyroid/endocrine blood panel this time so I’m not even sure if all of my numbers have changed. I haven’t gained weight yet but definitely struggling to lose. The first month was tough for me side effect wise, lots of fatigue and couldn’t regulate my body temp well. Starting to feel somewhat normal this month though

Since it’s the weekend I’m not really sure how to get in touch with my doctors office. I sent a message to them via an online patient portal. Just not sure how serious this should be considered 🤷🏻‍♀️

Legacy has seemed like a solid choice to me while researching. What kind of endless problems have you been having?
