well what happened with me was that i noticed i was getting tired and tired every day i didn’t think it was anything. Then one day i was really tired and weak then i started having fever sensations that day. During this time i had no idea what graves disease was or what a thyroid was. So i went from my room downstairs and talked to my mom. I can remember i was very sad and i knew something was really wrong i told her something was wrong with me but i didn’t know what it was. I just didn’t feel good. So i went to the doctors. I had to fill out a new patient form and i was all fidgety. The woman sitting at the counter noticed and put me in a room away from the main waiting place where every one else was. I had been sitting in the room still struggling to finish writing down the information for the forms. The woman said that’s okay you don’t have to finish that right now. She checked my blood pressure, Temperature and eyes and then left. Later on the doc came in and talked to me i explained everything that was wrong with me. This doctor was not a endocrinologist but she was a Pediatrician. She said all of my problems were from not getting enough sleep i had believed her because i was not getting a lot of sleep and i didn’t know what else could be causing this My dad came in the room and suggest that i get a blood test. Few days later my dad got a call saying that my TSH or some other level i cant remember was low. About two weeks later i went to a endocrinologist during this time i felt terrible way worse then i was before. I described all the symptoms to my endocrinolgist she said it sould like hypothyroid and my levels werent too off from the first blood test i took. She suggest that i get a uptake scan of my thyroid and a fulll thyroid panel blood test . I thought to my self "great" now i can wait more in pain to see what my problem is
