Hey all. I know I may be over-reacting about this, seeing that I don't go back to the dr. for more lab tests for another 2weeks, but here's the deal.
My doctor's nurse told me that my thyroid blood test came back really high, and that i need to come back in for more tests to check it again.
I just would like to know: what exactly does the thyroid do, and what does it mean when my reading is higher than the normal reading?

Hi mystic and welcome to the board. You've come to the right place to learn more about thyroid problems and to talk to lots of people who have been there. This board is pretty active so you may want to stick around and ask lots of questions...the people here are very friendly, caring, supportive,
