55yr old female. Hypothyroidism the last 15 yrs taking .125mcg. then reduced to .112mcg about 8mths ago. Gained about 30lbs in a year, brittle nails, thinning hair etc. I do exercise with a trainer, eat healthy. Saw Endocrinologist 2 weeks ago increased meds back to .125mcg. as bloods showed I was hypo. Waiting for results of other tests. Have cough, slightly raspy voice on occasion. Dr found lump on right side of thyroid, had ultrasound today, said I had very large thyroid but no specific lump they could take a biopsy from. My GP examined me yesterday and she felt the lump which she has not felt over the last 15 yrs. Last time I saw her was 8 months ago, no lump then.
