Thank you for the reply to my question on the 26th. I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and have been searching for an answer to the detection of a nodule 3 years ago. Now I have two.
I was diagnosed hypothyroid since the birth of my child and on synthroid for 16 years. High TPO's and the nodule detection have sent me to various "specialists" that have increased my meds for reduction purposes. Questions have gone unanswered.
I have not had an FNA or a biopsy, only multiple Ultra Sounds. I cancelled the recently ordered nuclear scan, fearful for my heart (and all other concerns!) being off meds for a month with no idea what will occur afterwards.
No one will answer why the high cholesterol they want me to take simvastatin for, since I don't eat any high cholesterol foods. Nor will they tell me where this nodule is going, IF it is going!
I am currently on 125 mcg of Levothyroixin and I do take a scriptual vitamin D 50,000 iu weekly, in addition to 1000-1500 mg daily of calcium citrate.
p.s. I am 47, had a hysterectomy at 36 and have one kidney. Any help you can provide would be so very appreciated and Yes!
I would be interested in a consultation, because no answers have been forthcoming for me. Thanks Renee

That's an opps ---- It's Ok Hun....
Your cholesterol count is due to your Hypothyroidism and should be watched - I don't know your numbers - but mine is 233. I take no meds right now - but that was a request by me. I may change my mind on the next check.
You may want to look on a site for a specialist.
Yahoo search Thyroid Disease Top Doctors Directory. There are many in every state - just look over some reviews and such - They seem pretty good.
After my last episode with a doctor -- you bet I am looking there - in addition to the University of Chicago Hospitol. Universities are very good - you may find the answers you are looking for there. Might even be looking at one in Michigan too.
