It's OK to wait till: May. Normal TSH rules out hyperthyroidism (function wise). Find ways to calm your nerves - exercise, adequate sleep, humor etc. All you need perhaps is reassurance.

Thyroid ok: Reg thyroid, its ok to wait until may. Regarding the steatorrhea, possible causes can be lack of bile acids (due to liver damage, hypolipidemic drugs, or having had the gallbladder removed, defects in pancreatic enzymes, and defective mucosal cells due to inflammatory bowel disease.The absence of bile acids will cause the feces to turn gray or pale. See your doctor for workup.
