Hi, Edith, Well, I have 2 large nodules in the right side, which take up most of the gland on that side. He wants to remove just that side. I`m wondering if they are the cause of the miserable pulsatile tinnitus (a grinding pulsating sound in my right ear) which drives me crazy sometimes. (It is so hard to get to sleep with a loud constant vroom, vroom, vroom in the ear!!) If so, perhaps getting rid of the things will stop that. Boy, that would sure be nice! I also have to wash my food down with fluids, I`m wondering if that is also because of the nodules. What is a FNB? My bloodwork is normal for thyroid, if that is what you mean. Marshalee
