Keeping this sweet and simple.
because I had this ridiculously long post written. Gonna be honest. It probably would have bored everyone to tears. (Even if I thought I was hilarious) Except for my mom. Maybe my sister. Because let's face it. They care. And they think I am funny. Most of the time. (keyword there is AND. Because I have lots of people that care about me. Ahhh. I love my family and friends)!
I have Graves disease.
I finally got a call back from the nurse from the endocrinologist office because I was having some arrhythmia going on. "Not cool man. Scary. But not cool". (My name is Brooke, and I quote children's movies).
I am on some medication right now to help with arrhythmia and some other symptoms.
I have no idea what the next step is. or What happens from here.
I do however now have 1,396 new questions for my doctor.
Wish me luck.

Hey, I think you're pretty stinkin' funny too! I love you Brooke. I'm glad you got an answer; hang in there.
dude. you can get erectile dysfunction with this shiz.
:)
sorry overall, and hope you get all your answers soon!
I also think you're funny! Hope you are getting the answers you need...I know you are strong, but I am sorry you are having to deal with this. I miss you and our awesome late-night chats with the Prosper police :)
Does hyperthyroidism make people lose weight at a crazy pace? I had a neighbor who I thought had a hyperactive thyroid and she actually hated it because she was so skinny and could never get meat on her bones. I actually envied her, but she said it wasn't something to wish on yourself. That Graves Disease link you gave us sure had a lot of answers and was so thorough(J/K)...I can't tell why you have a thousand questions for your doc, still.
Good luck as you figure out what it means for you & your health!
I have a friend who went through this last year. Good luck. I am glad that you have figured things out!
