I, too, had a GP that had definitive blood work and missed the hyperthyroid diagnosis. Frustrating. As far as taking medications like the Inderal, it is important to discuss things with the doctor before changing dosing patterns.
And, please know that we do get well again. The two treatment options (drug therapy or thyroid removal) have a proven track record of giving us our health back. Some patients may not be able to do what they would prefer — treatment-wise — due to specific health considerations unique to those patients. But with several options, we do look forward to getting our health back.
