My name is Shelly and I am a nurse in the USA. I have Hashimoto's thyroid disease since 1987.
T3 and T4 help keep the muscles healthy. So does Potassium, calcium, Magnsium, and Iron B1 & B-12.
Good foods rich in the above, are Orange juice, Bananas, Peanuts, Peanut butter, spinach and liver for iron, and any healthy foods lean meats and fish.
Some of us with Hypothyroidism are low and have no idea about it. So your doctor can test the above by blood levels.
If your thyroid meds working well it could be from low amts. from the above.
I hope this helps, any questions just ask.

I have 3 nodules and they are under 1 inch. About 98% of nodules are not cancerous. They come from old infections and redundant thyroid tissue. Some people make them as a family trait.
Hashi's patients can have them and so can anyone if the tissue clumps and adheres to the gland. Repeated infections/viruses can cause lymph tissue to do this.
Nodules can be cyst like and have a fuild in them of some blood and cellular fluid. They feel doughy and some can be old and more dense tissue. The doctor will press on the throat to palpate them.
If the nodule becomes big or bothers your breathing or swallowing then they can do the biopsy and see if it can be drained or needs to be removed.
The only major problem is your breathing & airway, and as long as that is okay you should be fine. If they do an Ultrasound they can see the size and if they need to check them further.
I hope this helps, any questions just ask.

Many nodules are small and not cancerous. 98% are old lymph tissue that clumps and adheres to the thyroid. I have 3 of them.
Ultrasound can show the size and shape and then can order a biopsy by fine needle if needed.
Hashi's patients can get it more but so can anyone ho had a lot of viruses and the lymph tissue can cluster up and make a nodule. People with Hypothyroidism and even Hyperthyroid can have nodules. Some are doughy feeling and some are dense. The doctor will press hard on your throat to feel for them.
They can test them by a sample via a biopsy. Most are just cyst like and do not cause a problem unless your airway is blocked by it or you can't swallow. Then they would have to remove the lobe of the gland it is on.
Hashi's is a form of Hypothyroidism that is diagnosed by TPOA and TGab anbodies test.
I hope this helps. Any questions just ask.
