Sounds like she has a large thyroid (hard to tell with the 13.2 comment, but if this is centimeters, that is large) and positive antibodies (auto-immune thyroid disease) with a mid-high normal TSH.  This would be a candidate for medications.  Would also perform ultrasound if not already done to make sure there are no abnormal nodules.
