Hypothyroidism or something else?

@collegeprof your post started by saying you experienced hyperthyroidism. Then you ended by saying thyroidism was confirmed But you didn’t say hyper (high) or hypo (low). I’m guessing hypothyroidism since you were put on levothyroxin. Is that correct? I had Graves’ disease (hyperthyroidism - high). My endocrinologist told me it is not uncommon to reverse from hyper (high) to hypo (low). She is now monitoring me for this. Is this anything like what has been going on with you?

Thank you for catching that. When doing routine labs, my PCP found that my thyroid values went from about a normal of 3 to over 3000 which I believe is hyper. The lab test to confirm was called "TSH". I later saw my endocrinologist, who said that my thyroid was not working after she did, I believe, an ultrasound. I was placed on Levothyroxine and continue to this day to have normal thyroid values, solely because of the medication. Sorry for any confusion.
