Sorry I have been away for such a long time. I have been going through a crippling depression (which I now think is the hypothyroidism.)
What do I do with this info? I have already made an appointment with my pcp.

Hi I'm pleased you've made an appointment as this happened to me years ago.
The only reason it was detected was due to a pea sized lump in my neck,which eventually had to be removed with glands as it was a cyst the size of a cricket ball pushing onto my windpipe.
Of course this is not what usually happens when you've got an over active thyroid just my personal experience as I'd just had an hydatidiform molar pregnancy.(Please Don't Panic)
You usually get frequent checks and sometimes meds depending on your levels.
My advice would be just get your glands checked over,mention the tremors and then the dr will advise you from there.
Lots of people have thyroid troubles that can be managed as you can see Its very common amongst us members I didn't realise until I've read your post.
Take care
JK
