I think you should be seeing a endocrinologist right away. They are the experts in this crazy field. I share in your pain because I am in the same boat. My hair falls out if I am in hyper status although I am currently hypo. This language sounds funny does it not?

It does sound funny but are we technical hyper bcause that was the diagnosis in the beginning? This is all so confussing.

Hi Everyone,
From reading the board, I take it is very common to go from hyper to hypo within 6 months? My doctor called me yesterday and told me to get off tapzol for 2 weeks and they will recheck me than. My TSH level was 27 which I take it , it’s not so bad compared to those that were higher. My doctor is not an Endocrinologist but wants to try to level my TSH. I kind a new something was wrong. I was tired and I notice I was losing my hair when I washed it.

At what point do you go see an Endocrinologist?

Thanks
Liza

You’re only hyperthyroid when your levels read that way, but you are still recovering from a long period of hyperthyroidism, so you’re on the path (which includes some brief trips into hypo and hyper while you find the right level). It’s a tough road to be on, but every step along the way is better than not knowing, and remaining sick. Untreated Graves’ Disease is fatal 50% of the time, and any treatment you choose has far far far better odds than that.
