anyone have this?

i saw the doc after i got another test with low TSH and normal T4. she said that basically it is just a matter of monitoring to keep an eye on my T4 so we notice early if it becomes abnormally elevated.

she said that i should get another blood test sometime to check whether i'm having an autoimmune problem. apparently that is the most likely cause of hyperthyroidism (which i might develop down the track since my thyroid seems to be working independently from my pituitary).

she said that even if it was autoimmune it would still be a matter of monitoring so no rush, really.

guess i'm probably in the very early stages of developing hyperthyroidism. most likely cause is graves disease. anybody have that?

treatment is kinda extreme... usually results in needing to take thyroid medication forever to prevent hypothyroidism. this is kinda bizarre... don't think anyone in my family has thyroid problems... and i only got the initial blood tests taken cause of fatigue / lethargy / catching every cold and flu that came my way.
