So on January 5, I went to see the endo. He diagnosed me with Hashimoto's syndrome/disease. I think he said a "classic case." I'll buy that considering my round beach ball face. Based on the ultrasound the nodules didn't feel as large as what they measured them to be and that I probably having a case of thyroiditis when the ultrasound was done. He didn't think that there was much to worry about but thought it a good idea to go ahead and do another ultrasound to see where things were now that the gland wasn't so inflamed. His best tech just happened to have an opening in about 20 minutes. Sweet...I'll wait.
I'll swear that the ultrasound gel smelled like cherries. She slide around on my neck for a few minutes and that was it. There was no heavy handedness, no long time laid back in a funky position. Just a few minutes and it was done. Wait a few days and I get a phone call. The nodules have changed, one is actually larger than it was before and where there was one before now seems to be two...lovely. So he felt a biopsy was a good idea. If for no other reason than to rule the possible out.
