What do you think it is? *HELP*

Hello everyone. I am new here and I am waiting to hear from my doctor and of course fearing the worst. I have had a hypo thyroid since I was about 15 years old. I have been on .50 of synthroid and about 1 month ago I woke up one morning to find my entire thyroid swollen. It went down the next day and I went to the doctor the next week. I had some blood work done 3 weeks later (once the meds were out of my system) and my tsh levels were 5.21 and my antibodies were 702.9 and 60.2. I have no idea what this means but I know it is not normal since they are above the average. I have also been trying to get prego for the last year and a half and suffered 1 miscarriage in the process. The ultrasound did show 3 nodules on the right side as well. Do you guys have any suggestions on what it could be? I really appreciate any feedback. Thank you!!!

Your antibodies could reflect Hashimoto and a burning neck IS common with that.

Definately do searching on the internet on the Hashimoto-hypothyroidism sites. You may be able to get alot of useful information to share with your doctor.

I know the regular symptoms but last week my thyroid/neck slowly started to burn while I was at work.Not bad enough that I was panicked but enough that I had to stop what I was doing for about a minute. It happened twice within an hour. Also, my arm today started to go numb. Does that have anything to do with it?
