Raeanna - just got back, so I'm catching up on your thread. THANK GOODNESS you're going to a thyroid person. Regular doctors often seem to screw up thyroid questions, and with your family history... no surprises. Thyroid could account for all the things you're concerned about - and since you're HYPO, that could even account for some of your emotions as well. Definitely influences headaches too. You're doing the right things - do as much research as possible, so that you can tell whether the dr. is full of shit. and call more than one!!!! Don't wait the month and a half - what if they aren't any good either?? A good friend has been going through this, and she didn't find a decent person until the third specialist. Be determined. You deserve someone who will listen, and make measured decisions. Be wary if all they want to do is iodine treatments, etc - that's the most extreme and not always necessary (tho I'm not sure if that's only appropriate for HYPER instead).
You'll see - now that you have a starting point, things are definitely going to get better.
