What to do...

Growing Goiter

I have had underactive thyroid for about 15 years and have had a small goiter too. Last month I went for my yearly checkup and my blood work came back with TSH and T3 slightly low...I requested a scan of my thyroid as I noticed difficulites breathing when trianing for Ironman Canada as well as difficulties swollowing....
Scanned my thyroid and ultraound showed - right lob 5.9 x 1.9 x 1.8 cm and left 3.9 x 1.6 x 1.4 cm - multiple benign appearing subcentimeter thyroid adenomas within both lobes.

we re-drew my blood and now TSH is 7.337 and T3 91 FT4 .8

I have been on thyroid medications for years - synthryroid .250  in the past and for the past 3 years 3 grains of armour

What should I do and what should I expect when I go to the doctor this week

What are the reference ranges for the T3 and FT4?  I'd also like to know if that was Free T3 or Total T3.  
Do you have Hashimoto's?

Just looking at the labs here that have actual reference. Well - wait. let me ask this first.

Was this a Free T3 tests?
