A member asked:
Why do i have to wait to see a thyroid specialist (aug 25th) before i can get started on meds for what my dr is saying is graves disease.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: Certain complex diseases are best handled by a specialist. Starting meds now may interfere with any additional testing the specialist may deem necessary. There is no harm in waiting.
