Why is my nodule growing and flaring?

[kaju20]

I have been to my gp about the discomfort I was getting swallowing, having any clothing around my neck and the migraines i was getting when my nodule felt particularly swollen, they did the tests and sent me for an ultrasound 2020 march time. Said there was nothing to be concerned with.

Since then I have had more flare ups, and now the nodule is very noticable. It doesnt go down at all. So I paid for a medichecks advanced thyroid blood test. Everything seems to be in range apart from the thyroid peroxidase antibodies.

I'll write out my results with the medicheck ranges. If any one has any idea where to go from here as symptoms are progressively getting worse. Acne, growing nodule, dry skin, thirsty all the time, constant migraines, back of neck and shoulder blade pain. I had a gallbladder attack that I had to go to A&E for (as I didn't know what it was at the time) .

Endo in the hospital discharged me saying my readings were nothing of concern. So not sure where to go from here.

Medicheck results:

Inflammation CRP HS (Range <5) 0.34mg/L

Iron (Range 13-150) 93.2

Folate (Range >3.89) 10.03ug/L

B12 (Range >37.5) 107pmol/L

Vit D (Range 50-175) 67.4nmol/L

TSH (Range 0.27-4.2) 0.86mlU/L

Free T3 (Range 3.1-6.8) 4.17pmol/L

Free thyroxine (Range 12-22) 15.8pmol/L

Tyroglobulim antibody (Range <115) 10.9klU/L

Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (Range <34) 47klU/L

So as you can see the peroxidase antibodies were above normal. What does that mean please?

Many thanks

I'm not sure why no one responded to you - I'd say you could go with a dose increase, assuming you are already on meds?

Hi, yes I was confused too, might be some techno issue my end, not sure. They wont put me on meds. Apparently I need to be 25% out of range for them to even consider doing anything. Crazy. I've had to temporarily register at another doctors surgery to even get my nodule looked at. It has grown to 3.7cm now but as it's just a cyst, even though I have every thyroid related symptom for a good couple of years now I still cant get meds. It's crazy it really is. I'm not sure how bad and how much life we have to loose before theyll just help. I have a dentist appointment at the end of the month. I might try down that avenue again. She might be able to refer me straight to an Endo.

Thanks for the response!
