Mom, I am very concerned about my friend Jessica at school. She isn't acting like herself and she is reminding me of how Auntie Lynda was acting when she was diagnosed with Grave's disease.
Oh no! Grave's disease is hard to recgonzie sometimes. Can you describe how she was acting?
Yeah, she said she was feeling anxious before our test, she said she couldn't sit still and was sweating a lot during the day and then she snapped at me when I asked her if everything was okay.
Hmm. That is weird behaviour. I know her mom through the school parent council, I will give her a call tonight.

Oh no doctor, what does this mean?
TSH ~ LOWfT3 ~ HIGHfT4~ HIGH
These parameters indicate that you have Grave's disease Jessica, a form of hyperthryoidism. This explains why you have been feeling so anxious, why you have lost so much weight and why you have been sweating all the time.

My friend Logan was right. His mom called my mom and said he was concerned about me. I thought I was just feeling anxious. Thank you doctor
TSH ~ LOWfT3 ~ HIGHfT4~ HIGH
That's the beauty of biochemistry! Hyperthryoidism is a hard condition to pinpoint because of the range of symptoms. Measuring TSH, fT3 and fT4 are great indicators for this diagnosis. I am glad you have clarity on your condition. Now let's talk about how we are going to tackle it Jessica.
