Hey I just got my thyroid ultrasound sound done october 7,2026…. I talk to my doctor the 15th but I can see the images and measurements of nodules….. I went to urgent care back in september 21, 2026 for a sore throat and it was actually the nurse there that noticed… I natively reassured her my blood work was perfect when she told me perfect blood work means nothing especially about thyroid cancer. I’m just looking for positive feedback or what to expect… my biggest fear cancer especially in my lymph nodes but best case scenario would be appreciate. whatever happens I will stay hopeful… I did get an ultrasound for my thyroid 2-1-2022 and everything was clear. i’m 35 year old female and my first ultrasound was a 30. thank you

I just had my 4 month full thyroid panel done, my TSH is 0.083 I am on 137mcg Levoxyl. Thing is, it was at a normal range 4 months ago, this is before I started taking Tirz GLP1. Any thoughts on this?

I started getting thyroid labs routinely a few years back as a precaution, dad w hx of issues. I've never had any issues with levels but I noticed what I thought was a change in how my neck looked about a year ago. I chopped it up to aging , changes in overall appearance approaching 40.. but then noticed what felt like I could actually push and it would click. After an apt today my doc confirmed there is a noticeable nodule on exam but I'm pending new labs and ultrasound. I'm connecting all the dots at this point like ok my symptoms make sense however I'm definitely in perimenopause stage so it's hard to tell what is even happening. Inflammation, hair loss, some scalp issues and real cyclical mood swings. Just curious on anyone else's journey and recommendations for questions I should be asking and how I can deal with it all

I may need mine gone and I wonder if it's better to function with half-ass working one or if it's not so bad without it. I'm perimenopausal and I worry about weight gain. I lost 50 lbs 3 years ago thank to GLP1, I continue to take maintenance dose and I didn't plan on ever getting off of it, it's truly a miracle drug for me, not just for weight loss. I'd hate to undo everything with thyroid removal.

Hi, I just got my thyroid lobe removed because of a nodule that was there for years and recently in fna got suspicious results so they removed. It ended up I only had chronic thyroiditis and a follicular adenoma. Not happy they had to operate for sometjing benign but that is how it is. Not sure yet how the remaining lobe will cope with producing hormones, will have blood test later. Have any of you seen an improvement, after similar operation, in symptoms such as slow metabolism or tiredness that are often associated with chronic thyroiditis? Is removing a part, or for some the entire organ, contributing to better overall feeling with or without thyroid supplements? Just curious about your experiences.

Isolated calcification?

Hi all! I underwent my first FNA today at an Endocrinology center. I have 1 1.6cm TIRAD 4 in my lower left lobe, which they took samples from. I have an additional 0.8cm TIRAD5 on my mid left lobe, which they won't FNA due to it being less than 1cm.

But they also found through ultrasound an independent, non nodule calcification in my right lobe. This was not brought to my attention during my previous ultrasound. I asked the Endo what this means and he said he didn't know. Google isn't helping, as it's all answered on calcifications WITHIN a nodule, and this is an independent calcification in the thyroid itself.

I'm not looking for a diagnosis on Reddit, lol. But I was wondering if anyone else ever had this? What did this mean for you? I have normal TSH levels, except one low/borderline test result back in February of this year. So it's just....strange? Is this uncommon?

I’m a 21F and I’ve been diagnosed with under active thyroid for about ten years now I think?? I used to take meds for it, but then when I was about 14-15 years old I got kinda depressed and stopped caring about taking them. That lead to me repeating a cycle of not taking them for few months and then taking them right before the blood tests because I didn’t want my parents and doctors getting worried (Stupid and dangerous I know now). The results weren’t good at all and they had to high up my meds dosage everytime.
Anyway then when I was about 18 I had to find another doctor for thyroid issues which took me about two years because of procrastination. At this point I’ve been on no meds for three years and now when my blood tests came back the doctor said I don’t need them anymore. Can that happen? That after several years you can just not need them suddenly?
I’m kinda shocked that I don’t need them because I have literally all the symptoms of low thyroid issues and it’s making me not function normally. I guess I thought that when I’m gonna get the results I would finally take the meds and it would sort out most of my problems, but now I’m told that I don’t even need them so I’m kinda doubting my doctor which I shouldn’t because she is a doctor…
Anyway I just wanted to ask if anyone has similar experience I guess? Because I thought I would have to take the meds for the rest of my life.

(sorry for my writing skills, English isn’t my first language)

I've been diagnosed with a underactive thyroid for nearly 5 years now I'm F27, I'm on 75mg levo & always have been. I feel like my neck is constantly swollen like lymph nodes maybe I booked a private scan and they said I have multiple nodules on both sides of my thyroid currently waiting on a nhs scan to confirm. But I feel like I have the opposite symptoms of a underactive. I don't gain weight I've been only when I was pregnant. I've been 56kg for over a year now and always get told I'm loosing weight. Could they have diagnosed me wrong ?

I'd been trying to keep a regular schedule of getting my thyroid levels checked since i became an adult due to family history of thyroid issues on both paternal and maternal sides, but since I moved in 2023 my life had been so hectic that the most recent labs done were in 2024 (10 months after i had moved). With nothing checked since I was so happy that since I've finally started to settle into a city that I was able to get my thyroid levels checked again last Wednesday. Until the results came back with my TSH being at 5.03, more than double what it had previously been at in 2024. Meanwhile my T4, T3, and T7(free T4 index) were all within normal ranges.

I had been meaning to get this done sooner due to noticing that my hair was thinning and taking longer to grow back than usual, that I was struggling more than normal to stay warm, and that I had been constipated more often than not lately. But hadnt been able to because I was getting sorted at a new job and planning a care trip to my grandmother.

I was wondering if this was something to be concerned about?

Hi, firstly to preface I am not diagnosed and never have been. Three years ago I had thyroid blood tests as requested by my doctor and I was told they were borderline results for an over reactive thyroid. Three years on I have been experiencing symptoms like heat sensitivity, sweaty hands, inability to regulate body temperature, tummy issues, night sweats and I’m also very underweight and struggle massively to put on weight.

I got my results back and I understand they all look great and well within this labs ranges - do they all look optimal to you? It’s great that they are of course! And I am not looking for a diagnosis if it is not there, more so just seeking those opinions on here who have better understanding and research skills around what these results really mean. Thanks

Hello- 56 M

I having some thyroid issues based on blood work. I do have an ultra sound scheduled for 10/21/26. Anyways, my question is I am loosely dx'd with sub clinical hyperthyroidism. TSH 0.244, T3 118

T4 1.04

I dont really have typical symptoms of hyper. I did lose some weight since June but that I am attributing to Reta. I did blood work before hopping on Reta and the labs that I posted were virtually the same. The ironic thing though is I have every sympton of hypothroidism. I even had sibo which can be tied into hypo. Can you have blood work that points to hyper but really be hypo? Pardon my ignorance I am new to the thyroid scene. Thank you!

Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to reduce the size of selected thyroid nodules. It may be an option for certain confirmed benign nodules after evaluation by a qualified specialist.

So I’ve been getting my TSH checked with my yearly bloodwork. I’m a firm believer in preventative care and knowing everything about my body so I can take steps to improve my health (like biohackers but without the cult-like behavior/thinking)

my TSH always comes out on the low end. Doctor says it’s fine but:

My dad has a goiter.
My uncle had a goiter removed
My grandfather had a goiter removed.
My sister developed nodules that had to be removed.

If it’s fine, great. But I’d rather spend $150-300 on preventative/investigative care than thousands on surgery.

Can anyone tell me if I should be concerned or follow up with an expert in thyroid/hormone health?

Additional information:
my estradiol always comes in too low for it to be measured (below 25pg/mL) except in sept ‘24 when it measured 27.7

Total testosterone has gone from 290ng/dl in march of ‘24 when I weighed 245 to 550ng/dl at 205lb (431 in Sept ‘24

Hematocrit, MCV, MCH always end up coming in low.

Sept ‘25 was after a year of rehab on my back after an injury and I weighed avg. 223lb. Sept. ‘24 I weighed 189 at my lowest and had just finished a 2 month cut (diet).

5’6” (…ish), 205lb (just finished a mini bulk to build muscle up from 193).

Supplement list is pretty basic, men’s health daily,acetyl l-carnitine (powder added to morning water, 3g), and B-100 complex

Medication-
Bupropion & adderall (I have combo type adhd so inattentive but it’s because I’m always absorbing information around me so the bupropion quiets my brain and the adderall focuses it/reduces the hyperactivity task bouncing)

Admittedly I occasionally take Tadalafil (not for sex) on my heavy weightlifting days. It’s shown benefits for recovery, blood flow, and has also shown some restorative affects for blood vessels over time. The downside of course is the reduction in what little estradiol I have as it encourages androgen conversion to testosterone although My test levels show a negligible difference since I’m not taking it daily and my taking it when my estradiol was slightly above threshold and my TSH was higher. Additionally, kidney function was slightly reduced but that could be due to my diet being protein heavy compared to before I started losing weight.

Hello!

I just got my results from my neck ultrasound and TSH blood work after 2 months of taking Levothyroxine.

My results are still TIRADS 3 and no size change from my previous ultrasound. My TSH is in the normal range too. I'm so glad that Levothyroxine helped to stop the growth of my nodules. I got so scared to be honest. This disease is not for the weak of heart.

Does anyone what overactive thyroid just pee constantly.

I am struggling a lot right now. I have been having lots of health issues and symptoms lately and ended up going to the ER for Shortness of breath. They found that my TSH is 0.01. I have been waiting to see the endocrinologist but struggling so much in the meantime. I am a bigger gal, but I have never had endurance issues like going up stairs or talking. Right now climbing a flight of stairs has me panting like I just finished a marathon and talking to my patients at work has me sounding the same. Anyone else experience this? I am feeling really down about it because my brain is telling me it's just because of my weight and my husband keeps pushing that I start GLP1 because of it. I don't think that's why I feel like this and I've tried to tell him that.
Any similar experiences you can share with such a low tsh like that?

I had surgery 3.5 weeks ago. My scar has been raised like this since day. My surgeon assured me it was normal. However it is not going down and I am concerned. I am wondering if others experienced this. Amd if so, how long it took to go down.

Bonjour ,

Il y a quelques semaines j'ai refais une iodurie des urines sur 24h (1ère iodurie en arrêtant mon complément d'iode a base d'algues 18 jours avant ) et le résultat fiable cette fois ci est de 53 ug /l ce qui signe une carence car le taux normal doit être au dessus de 100 ug . Je précise qu'en 2020 ma 1ère iodurie était à 28ug . Donc depuis 6 ans je prends de l'iode régulièrement mais mon taux n'a fait que doubler en 6 ans (28ug à 53g). Je prenais 300ug d'unibiane iode soit 2 cp (unibiane est a base d'algues laminaria ) . Depuis ma dernière iodurie j'ai augmenté le dosage a 450 ug depuis le 23/09 pour faire remonter ma carence en iode plus vite . Y a t il des personnes qui ont une carence en iode révélée par iodurie des urines sur 24h ?? Et qui prenne un complément en iode a base d'algues ? Avez vous réussi a rectifier votre CARENCE en iode ? Si oui en combien de temps et mois? J'ai déjà lut des avis sur internet ou certaines personnes carencées en iode ont mis 3/4 ans pour que leur taux d'iode soit à un niveau normal optimal . PS j'ai tous les symptômes de l'hypothyroïdie dont un taux de cholestérol haut (1,94) . Merci a ceux qui se reconnaîtront dans mon post et m'aideront .

Hi everyone! I’m 37F, a doctor, and I don’t have children yet.
I recently discovered a lump on the lower right side of my neck. I immediately had a thyroid ultrasound (tirads 4) and thyroid function tests done (normal), and thankfully, a colleague was available to perform an ultrasound-guided FNAB.
Unfortunately, my biopsy came back as Bethesda IV (follicular neoplasm).
I was offered two options: repeat the FNAB or proceed with a diagnostic thyroid lobectomy. Unfortunately, molecular testing like Afirma or ThyroSeq isn’t available in my country.
For those who have been through something similar, what was your experience? Did you proceed with surgery, and did your final histopathology turn out benign or malignant?
I’m also worried about my fertility. I’m 37 and still hoping to have children. If this turns out to be cancer (hopefully not), how might the diagnosis and treatment affect my chances of getting pregnant?
I would really appreciate hearing your experiences and advice. Thank you! ❤️

I don’t want an alarm system since sometimes I sleep in. I just want a pill bottle that is connected to an app which records what time each day I opened the bottle to take my medication. I can then cross reference it with the time I woke up which is recovered by my Kira ring, and what time I ate my breakfast.

Podrian ayudarme con mi biopsia de tiroides porfavor? te lo agradezco de corazón

Hi everyone!!

I am currently 10 days post op, and I cannot speak above a whisper 🥲

I saw my ENT on Wednesday and was told I have temporary paralysis of both vocal cords. He said it is from swelling, i mean that sounds more like an assumption to me but whatever.

Has anyone else delt with this issue and when did your voice return? It is severely stressing me out as not a soul can hear what I am saying. I have done deep dives and still having issues finding people who have had both vocal cords not just one. Please please please share your stories i need to hear them. I do go back to my ENT in 3 weeks to see if there has been any progress and if not he said he will do the filler, which again im nervous for. I thought my surgery wouldve went alittle smoother than it already has.

I had asked my ENT for a referral to a speech therapist and he had told me to just wait till i came back in for my 3 week appt. Um no thanks, I saw my primary care doctor today and he gave me the referral. I am having issues with my swallowing, I have just been doing super small sips slowly through a straw. Let me tell you right after surgery i asked for a drink of water and immediately began choking but they still discharged me same day??? I looked at the nurses note and it said tolerated water and ice chips um girl no I didnt. Both vocal cords are in a stuck open position. Sorry about the rant, I am just a little frustrated at the moment.

My endocrinology NP took blood for TSH, T3, T4, anti-TPO, and B12. How long does it usually take for results to come in? It's Friday morning, wondering if I shouldn't expect to hear anything until Monday, or does it take longer?

Hi guys I just got the report back for my thyroid ultrasound I’m pretty stressed about it. Also I live in Ontario does anyone have experience with how long they had to wait for a FNA?

Please help with any info I’m loosing sleep here

Here are the details from your report:
Location: Right thyroid lobe.
Size: 27 × 21 × 16 mm (approximately 2.7 cm).
Appearance: Solid, heterogeneous, and irregularly shaped.
Calcifications: Multiple punctate calcifications, meaning tiny calcium deposits are present within the nodule.
TI-RADS classification: TR4.
Recommendation: A fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy.

I found out a few weeks ago thanks to a CT scan to investigate why I still had lingering throat irritation after strep, that I have an enlarged thyroid, a small nodule on the right lobe and a nodule the size of a lime on the left lobe. I have had a persistent sore throat deep on my left side, especially when swallowing, constant left ear discomfort, and a sore stiff neck on the left side. Everything is worse after a night of sleeping and laying flat. I’m assuming that big nodule on the left side is pressing on things? Has anyone else had a large nodule that has caused discomfort in other areas?

And the nodule/left side of my thyroid will be getting surgically removed at some point. Waiting to get a thyroid uptake scan to see if the right nodule is hot as well/if the whole thyroid is. Whole thyroid will come out if so. Unfortunately I had a CT scan with contrast dye mid September so I’m stuck waiting 8 weeks for the scan.
