With any luck I'll see the endocrinologist sooner rather than later!

Yes, it is most important you see an endocrinologist sooner than later. I started several years ago with hyperthroid (had a lot of stress and infection, which also contributes to throid disease.
A few years ago went into remission and am now hypothroid. I have been seeing an endocrinologist since first being diagnosed several years ago.
Get Blood work to test TSH and keep the throid functioning properly every 6 months. I have been taking synthroid for the hyperthroid disease. Very easy to keep normal with the med. For hypothroid; it is strongly recommended not to use a generic: Be sure, when going to the endo to have him prescribe "Brand Only". The generic does not work the same as the Brand. Same ingredients; but not same quantities. Big difference. Good Luck.
