ENT man suggests a multi-nodular thyroid. On 40mg Carbimazole for 4 weeks to establish a 'modicum' of euthyroidism, then either surgery or radio-iodine treatment. Endocronologist next. Consensus so far that long term Carbimazole not for me given multi-nodular thyroid. Nothing sinister suspected - no need for fine needle aspiration biopsy.
What do you think folks? especially Bob the Doc.

Just had a thought, you guys with hyper had/have Graves, right? Am I the only one with nodules? It seems that thyroid nodules in blokes are much rarer. Am of for an isotope scan this week to track thyroid activity.
