Please upload the thyroid function reports

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,

Welcome to HCM. Thanks for posting question in HCM.

The symptoms of thyroid are not specific. We manage hypothyroidism based on thyroid function report and not based on symptoms. Once treated the symptoms will come down.

Is the nodules there in adrenals or thyroid?

I'll be to happy to help you with future questions
