Concerned Parent

My daughter was recently diagnosed with an overactive thyroid.  I have done some reading and some of the symptoms pertain to her, rapid weight loss, ancious, loss of apetite, vomiting.  Her ranges, to me, are weird.  They have made an appointment with an enodocrinologist but that's not until September 08.  Her blood results were

T4 - 27.73
TSH - .0025

Is this something I should be worried about?  She also went to the er recently and they discovered that she has passed some gall stones.  Is this related to the thyroid issue?

I agree with Totie. She must be miserable.

I had an over active thyroid (hyperthyroidism), that is too long to weigt for an appt! The doctor is crazy! The rapid heart is a major issue in itself. You don't want her to go into cardiac arrest. Not scaring you, but I had the exact same symptoms as your daughter. I went in to get a CT Scan, and when they saw my heart rate was 140 just sitting, i was immediately hospitalized. Is she currently on any medications? Her weight is another issue, please call them and ask for a quicker referral, the over active will cause havoc on the body, trust me....

Tell the doctor there is no way she can wait that long!
