Yr ago a dr. noticed goiter and rec. thyroid profile. Not done at that time cause felt fine.
Sept. this yr started feeling exhausted all the time. Continued and other symptoms started. Went to dr. in Nov. (different than 1st one). Goiter immed. noticed. Strong symptoms fit to hypothyroidism. Full bloodwork with FreeT4 and TSH. All PERFECT. FreeT4 1.13(range 0.76-1.46), TSH 1.454(range 0.358-3.740). Ultrasound done in Dec..gen dr. stated nodule on left side. Eye, nose, neck specialist today (Jan2)..stated 2 small solid nodules, clean margins, not suspicious. Too small to warrant FNA. Per ultrasound gland measured slight larger than norm, but not concerned. But then dr. was shocked he could see it clearly through my skin when swallowing. Plan, recheck ultrasound in 1 yr to see if nodules change. Did do Hashimoto test (by my request) to rule out...pending results.
My question...I feel like CRAP all the time. Everything coming back "normal". Even if positive for Hashimoto (which is unlikely due to normal TSH) dr. doesn't plan to do anything because "normal" T4 and TSH. Other people have noticed my goiter when I swallow so obviously its bigger than its supposed to be. It isn't painful, but I can feel it slide up my windpipe when I swallow. Doesn't really restrict anything or make swallowing difficult, just can feel it thats all. Some have even thought it was an addams apple and I'm a girl! I'm getting frustrated because I'm not getting better by just waiting and see, but it doesn't seem like anyone will do anything because all lab stuff comes back ok. Are they missing something or misinterpreting something? Anything else that should be done? Any advise is greatly appreciated!!!
