Thyroid Ultrasound Results Help

[ThyroidStressed]

Had an ultrasound on my neck after pain in lower neck and ear pain. Dr advised right side of thyroid is very inflamed and left side shriveled with a nodule on and should have further blood tests. Heard nothing so chased after 4 weeks and have been given a telephone call with ENT.

I've had two low thyroid blood tests which GP just says come back for a retest in 6 months....and repeat. Sadly don't know actual levels.

My body just aches all the time plus cold and brain fog.

What test should I be pushing for? I have private medical insurance but GP keeps telling me to not go that route 🤔 but that was before ultrasound.

Thank you

Definitely use your private medical insurance - I found my GP unhelpful for thyroid issues, whereas the private consultant worked with me to diagnose the issue and then holistic treatment.

Thanks @SOWK just hoping I don't get fobbed off. Shouldn't have to rely on PMI.

I'm especially confused as thyroid is both inflamed and shrunken. When I try and Google it suggests certain types of issues for either but not both.
