I had a CT scan a couple of months ago to follow up on pleural thickening. They saw an enlarged thyroid and so sent me for a sonogram and a thyroid uptake scan. Saw the endo yesterday and my thyroid is three times the size it is supposed to be and has 3 nodules on each side of it. I have to go for a fine needle biopsy next Monday and have to get blood work to test for Hashimoto's today. My sister had nodules and was tested for Hashimoto's but tested negative. I have lupus, raynauds, and sjrogrens, and am wondering if it is likely that I have hashimoto's in addition to this. Even if everything is negative, she's putting me on thyroid medication because my thyroid is so large and it should shrink it a bit (shrink me a bit too...it certainly would help explain the 17 pounds I've gained!) I was just wondering how prevelant Hashimoto's is among the members of this forum. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
