Any advice? i have been diagnoised with hyperthyroidism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an endocrine doc: Hyperthyroidism is a serious but very treatable condition and all endocrinology specialists have experience treating it. The first step is usually to start a medication called Methimazole to slow your thyroid gland's production of thyroid hormone which takes a few weeks. If that fails there are more permanent treatments (radioactive iodine r surgery).
