Interesting. I have been taking Iodoral - (pill form of Lugols). not prescribed.. just thought i needed it. Doesn't seem to have changed anything for me but then may not be as strong as Synthroid. I asked the ENT doc about taking thyroid supplement and he said no. I have been having episodes of rapid heartbeat and anxiety .. I know that could be related to the thyroid. I will talk with doc further. I think I need more blood work. Thanks Edith.

I found a lump in my throat about 10 or so years ago. I went to my reg. M.D. and he redid the thyroid testing he had already done before and everything was "normal" however, he sent me on to a Endocrinologist who did a more extensive panel and found I had Hashimoto's. I allowed him to do the needle test because I really didn't understand the issues with that. All turned out OK but when I was put on Synthroid, all 3 nodules greatly reduced in size. that's the reason I asked about Hashi. Edith

No on the Hashimotos .. as far as I know. just the nodules.. Thyroid numbers are always low normal. Concerned about the needle biopsy if it is cancer..it could spread it.

    I had biopsies on my nodules done twice, about two years apart.
    Since I stopped eating anything made of grains, my nodules are
    going away!!

        Anybody know if it is a bad idea to get a needle biopsy on
        thyroid nodules ?  Doc has been watching it for 5 yrs and  it
        stayed same.. now 2 yrs later it has gotten a little bit
        bigger and he wants to do the needle biopsy.  Scares me, but
        guess you have to know what you are dealing with.
        Maybe I better up my CS intake.  :/
