Hello, I've recently been diagnosed by my GP with overactive thyroid caused by Graves disease. It's a relief, as I felt awful for several months (poor concentration, nervousness, irritability, depression, exhaustion). The GP said this will be treated at a hospital clinic. I've just received the appointment date and it's in 4 months time. Can I ask for your experiences? How long did you wait for Graves disease referral? Anybody start treatment with their GP? Anybody go private at this stage to speed things up?
I'm concerned as I feel incapable to do my job currently, and although my employers are understanding, I may have to leave my job in the meantime if I'm not likely to recover in 4-6 months.
