Hello @cwal, I saw your earlier discussion New Dx for Graves / Subclinical Hyperthyroid - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/new-dx-for-graves-subclinical-hyperthyroid/ and did a search on Connect and found one other member who mentioned being tested for it but didn't have the infection. I did find an article on the your other discussion that might be helpful. The article has other references listed that also might be helpful.

Hello John. Thank you for your answer and searching on Connect for others with this puzzle. I did find that article you posted a link to prior to my inquiry here. Unfortunately, I could not access the article to read due to membership and fee required to have access.
I am currently still waiting for an appointment with an Endocrinologist and wondering if a wait and watch approach is ever utilized instead of rushing to treatment as I have absolutely NO symptoms.
