September for me has been crazy, but in a nutshell. I noticed a lump in my neck on 9/5 saw my Internist on 9/6 he sent me for an ultrasound and did blood work. My US showed mulitple nodules the largest being 2.2sm on upper right portion of the right lobe, the nodule is cystic & solid in appearance. Did an US guided FNA on 9/20 and those results show numerous hemosiderin laden macrophages consistent with contents of degenerative hemorragic cyst. No evidence of malignancy, but no thyroid epithelial cells were present for verification.
Levels were T3-89, T4-7.4 and TSH 2.27
My question What in the world does all of this mean? I am 43 and have generally been in good health all of my life, I do suffer from depression and have developen some serious PMDD as I have gotten older. I believe I have the symptoms of Hypo thyroidism (hair loss, weight gain, irrirability, fatigue) but my internist and Gyn have always said my thyroid is fine. I am scheduled to see an Endocronoligst on 10/3.
Any insight would be very appreciated, you all seem to have a fairly good handle on this topic.
