I was just diagnosed with GD a few days ago. I am 45. I had a partial hysterectomy in January and then lost my dear Grandma a few days after surgery. I guess I didn’t realize I had an issue with my thyroid. I had just gone through surgery, death and then got sick with a respiratory virus and then strep (first time). I guess losing weight, feeling tired and depressed was all part of what I had been going through. I noticed that my TSH blood test was not right and I questioned it and they re ran the tests at my post op. I am not able to see the specialist until mid March. At this time, I feel pretty down and tired. I am returning to work soon. I have been doing a lot of reading and found this site. I just wanted to post that its scary and sometimes frustrating as I want this taken care of asap but I know it takes time and takes time to get in with a specialist to help you.
