I was there for my sore throats thats lasted since April and my throat swollen will c
Voice change. Some that Thyroid still pending mean I'm waiting on blood results? Or was he just reffing to waiting on the ultrasound. Sorry for being dumb I'm just worried is all.

Answer

None of those are thyroid labs. Thyroid labs are t3, t4, tpo, reverse t3, tsh, which are what they usually draw. They will update you when they come back. Try not to worry too much.💗

Answer

There is a medication called oscimin that I was put on for the same symptoms, I have Graves’ disease. My point is worrying does a lot of harm to those of us with thyroid issues. Try not to get upset about things you don’t even know about yet. It’s hard to do but can be a learned behavior that will tremendously improve your life. Good luck

Answer

Nodules can screw up your thyroid hormones and then you could need to adjust the levothyroxine for example.
These results are mostly looking at if you have an infection: detailed white blood cell counts, and then things like your blood sugar and just all around regular blood tests that check you don’t have something else than just perhaps a thyroid hormone issue. 
Keep us posted. My mom has a nodule but it is small so they’re just making sure it doesn’t get bigger and that’s it.
