Have they done any antibodies testing? That's the most conclusive way to determine if it's Graves. Could also be Hashi's. Antibody testing for that tends to be more suggestive than conclusive but can still be helpful.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

My antibody testing was negative. I had a letter today saying that although my scan suggested Grave's Disease the uptake figures were too low for Grave's (1.6%). I'm just going to take things easy and enjoy the summer.

That's good! Hopefully it was just thyroiditis!

Hopefully so! They still keep a close eye on thyroiditis here as apparently there's an increased risk of hypothyroidism afterwards.

I had chest pain whilst swimming on holiday this week
It went a few seconds after I got myself to the side of the pool, and hasn't come back. I'm back home now and have a doctor's appointment booked for Monday evening. I'll hold off anything other than gentle exercise until I have the all-clear. My next endo appointment is in early November, with bloods the week before.
