I have a few questions about a thyroid problem?

Earlier this week, I had an indepth blood test/screening. My doctor originally thought I may have Lyme’s Disease or Rheumatoid Arthritis. I got a phone call today from the doctor’s office, and it turns out that I test negative for both of those–BUT my thyroid is not working properly.

Now my questions… how common is this disease? Is it potentially life-threatening? What kind of medication/treatment will I receive for this? What other kinds of tests might I have to undergo to PROVE that it’s a thyroid problem? Will this problem affect me later down the road when I decide I want to have children? Wow.. I have sooo many questions, I am very scared. I am 24 years old and always thought I was pretty healthy.
I don’t know yet whether it’s hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism… I will find that out when I go to the doctor on Monday to discuss the test results.

Even though he has an under active one. It’s quite possible mine is overactive.Should I just get tested when my medical benefits fully kick in on the first? I have been the same weight since age 16. I can not get past 93 lbs(extremely tiny bone structure , 5′ 2 1/2″ tall)No matter how much I eat. People tell me to eat more and I tell them I can put away as much food as a fat person can and nothing changes.I’ve tried nutritionists and doctors and following the right diet.But nothing works.My co worker babysits for a woman with over active thyroid and is really thin like me.Maybe I’m not naturally thin.I just want a healthy body and want to rule out every possibilities.I don’t want to get fat.I just want to find out what keeps me from getting past 93 lbs when I eat like a pig on a good day.Losing weight is extremely easy.In one week i can lost 5 lbs or more if depressed etc.
kimi, I have some of those symptoms you listed.
my hair falls out a lot .I’m surprised I’m not going bald.I get shakiness in my hands and feet.Sometimes tingling sensations.I can’t tolerate heat.
