Hi, I was diagnosed today with Hyperthyroidism. I’ve looked into it a little and am a little confused. Is Grave’s Disease the same thing as Hyperthyroidism. My doctor said he is gonna start me on some medication. Will that fix it or is this something I’ll have the rest of my life? Or is this possibly a life-threatening disease. I go back to the doctor to find out more in two weeks, but I don’t know if I can wait that long.
