Dac, thanks for your support.  I'm waiting a little while to go back to a Dr  But I am going to make an appt with my ear DR soon.  He is a good Dr and will check my neck as well.

Also, wondering about possible Celiac disease.  

I'll keep you posted.

thanks again

You should have hit him over the head with a big stick!

Find a new dr ASAP!  Make them find out what the fever is from and why the glands are so swollen.  If it's so bad it's affecting your arm, it must be bad.  That would be where I'd start first.  It may or may not have anything to do with your thyroid.  

You do need to find an endo who specializes in thyroid.  And know that the numbers don't always mean anything to a thyroid patient, especially if you have nodules.  They mess up your whole world and leave the number normal.

First and foremost is to get to a dr immediately who will find out what is going on with the lymph nodes.  Don't mess around with that.

Let us know what happens.
