A big thank you in anticipation of the responses you are all amazing.Since my diagnosis hypothyroidism early 2022 it has been a rollercoaster. High antibodies drove a complete overhaul of my lifestyle which included thyroid friendly diet, no gluten, dairy and processed foods. Limit alcohol. I have supplemented with vit d and B12 and liver weekly.
I decide to have an ultrasoumd scan just to understand a little more about the state of my thyroid. This happened 29th Dec 2022.
Findings;
The right and left lobes of the thyroid appear normal in shape, size and echopattern.
Normal vascularity seen in th gland on color Doppler.
No retrosternal extension seen.
No nodules seen.
Visualised regional lymph nodes appear morphologically normal.
Conclusion;
Normal ultrasound scan of the thyroid, no nodules seen.
I have had my medichecks advance thyroid results delivered today.

My thyroid peroxidase is continuing to drop.
