CT Found nodule this spring. Ultrasound of thyroid showed 4 nodules-2 greater than 10 mm. Endocrinologist ran bloods: Bloods showed no Hashimoto’s. But follow up FNA biopsy of nodule was positive for Hashimoto’s. So I am sero negative Hashimoto’s.
TSH 1.98.
Thyroglobulin Antibodies 12 Range 10-115 iu/mL
TPO antibodies 18.3 Range 5-34 iu/mL
Vit D 55.1 range 30- 80 ng/ml. (Note: I take 50,000iu/week of D2)
Ferritin 306 Range 13-400 ng/ml
Old blood work listed below:
FYI- TSH was 4.07 in early 2013, 2.40 in late 2013, 1.82 in 2015, 1.85 in 2017
Folate and B12 not tested since 2015 when:
Folate was greater than 20. Range 5.2-20 pg,mL
B12 was 715. Range 211-946 ng/mL
Free t4 checked way back in 2013 as 1.07. Range .80-1.80 ng.mL
I have had polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) since 2014. Another autoimmune condition. Have been on prednisone the whole time. Now on 6 mg every other day of prednisone. CRP (which checks inflammation) currently 14.44. Range 0-10 mg/L
On LDN for last 2 months which is helping greatly with sleep and also helping with brain fog. Brain fog, really low energy, stiffeness mostly in legs, ankles, feet; and Hoarseness that comes and goes are my main issues. I do have a scalloped tongue. Just assumed most of the above to be part of my PMR. Now not sure if some is actually Hashimoto’s. Also hoarseness could be from Pulmicort I take for asthma?
Endo wants to do another ultrasound of thyroid at end of October (which will be 6 months since first ultrasound) and then will meet with me. I am not on any levo etc. yet.
Trying to learn as much as I can. Appreciate any comments or suggestions as I prepare for my late October appointment. Thanks
