Hi all

I am new on this forum. I have just been diagnosed hyper. I am still waiting for endo appointment. In the meantime, docs are starting me on 20mg carb and propranolol. My TSH is below 0.05, free T3 is 17.9 and T4 is 38.9.

Interestingly, my aunt was hypo, mother fluctuates, sister is hypo and brother was hyper + graves - he has had a full thyroidectomy.

I shall be checking in for advice!
