I'm a 19 year old college woman who's just been diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism by my college's health center.

I'm supposed to be setting up an endocrinologist appointment soon and I was wondering a few things.

First of all, what is the most likely treatment they will start me on, and how long might it take for me to feel better again? How long does it take to feel COMPLETELY normal again too?

Also, is there anything else I can do in the meantime to make myself feel better? I can't concentrate on anything and my school work is suffering because of it. :/

Thanks so much!
