Multiple Swollen Inguinal and neck lymph nodes-normal labs

I have had a few swollen lymph nodes in the neck for over a year. Doctor's that I have seen have just said to keep an eye on them. Now within the last 6 months I have multiple in my neck, collarbone, and groin area. I have had multiple blood tests that have came back normal. I also have a lymph node sitting right on my carotid artery. I recently had one removed from my groin and it came back normal as well. I am exhausted daily, have lost 20 pounds in 6 months and just feel terrible. The doctor's don't want to even do a needle biopsy on my neck ones because they stated they are to close to my collarbone and c6-c7. They also don't want to touch the one on my carotid. In March 2019, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis but the endocrinologist will not treat me for this.

    Your endocrinologist is a moron. You should be treated for Hashimotos. It is an autoimmune disease which makes you feel lousy and affects the whole body. People with one autoimmune disease are likely to get another one which is bad news. The good news is that there is treatment for Hashis which can make you feel better. Get another endo who will treat you. Otherwise log on to TPAUK. It is a very helpful site for people with thyroid disorders who are not getting the right treatment and has lots of advice and helps people who arent getting help from their doctors. Most doctors and endos arent interested or educated about hashis because it is mainly a womens illness. I hope you feel better soo

      Thank you! Yes I have went to two different endocrinologist's at two different facilities. I live in a somewhat small town and of course neither want to treat me or step on the other one's toes. I did also see a Rheumatologist who says I should be on something for this but he says " that's not my department so i won't interfere" it's very frustrating let alone yes i do feel like garbage everyday. I recently had more labs and my MPV and RDW came back LOW on my CBC.
