Hi all,
I'm scheduled to have a blood test for hyperthyroid after feeling pretty certain for a couple years that I have it. I am however, a little nervous that if I do have it, that treatment will be a nightmare. Are there side effects? Or did it make you feel any better? Any opinions welcome
Thank you!

It all depends on what treatment you get but from my experience a run away thyroid is very much worse than the treatment. Eventually mine had to come out and while that does limit future activities slightly, its a no brainer if you have a real issue. I had lots of pills and carried on much as before although eventually the doc said no more or they might cause problems, so I had to have the thing removed. The worst part were the regular blood tests - used to feel like a pin cushion :-(
?Unless yours is really bad, it is likely to be a few pills each day - don't worry unduly - its doable :-)
