Throglobulin level elevated

Hello,
For over one year I have had swollen lymph nodes on and off in my neck. I have had several courses of antibiotics and when they remained swollen I had an ultrasound which showed several enlarged nodes and a mass 1.9 cm where the thyroid is but not on the thyroid.  A few months ago I had a fine needle aspiration which was inconclusive. I have seen an Endocrinologist who felt I had a Parathyroid Adenoma, though this was not the case after the nuclear scan results came  back.  
All of my labs are "normal" with the exception of the thyroglobulin which is elevated.
The only other unusual thing is that I have SLE. The swollen lymph nodes started all of this and remain to me the biggest issue.
Any suggestions would be appreciated as well as hearing from others with similar issues.
Thanks,
Cathy

Hello,

Thanks for your response.

TSH, Free T4, T3, and antibodies and Calcium are all within normal limits. They were all in the middle of the reference range. I also had a barium swallow / esophogram done because of pain/pressure when I swallow very cold things or dry stuff like breads.

Thanks again,

What actual thyroid test have been run -- TSH, Free T4, Free T3, antibodies (TPOab - thyroid peroxidase antibodies; and/or TGab - thyroglobulin antibodies)?  If you could post those tests, along with the results and the lab's reference ranges, members would be able to comment more fully on your situation.
