I go to see an endocrinologist tomorrow my TSH was low and soon showed multiple nodules on left and right side of thyroid. My PCPdoesnt really like the dr. But he is the only local one so I may have to travel for a second opinion if it doesn't go well. But I hope it goes ok.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you can get some answers.
My PCP still won't refer me. He thinks he can get mine under control, but we have been working on this for about 9 years now and it still isn't great. It will stabilize for about a year and then goes in either direction and we have to adjust my meds. I have Hashimoto's so I think it acts up when I am flaring and my body has something else to attack for a while.
