Thyroid? Or something else? Constant internal shakiness

Hi, thanks for input but I have no TPO antibodies in my blood so no Hashimoto’s. I’ve had all thyroid labs you can think of associated with the thyroid and only tsh level goes up high for months and then normal. It changes like the seasons. I think the weather change plays a role. Recently had ultra sound and an 0.8x0.5x0.7 cm hypoechoic nodule. It’s located near strap muscle right thyroid. Doc just said repeat in 3 months.
Thank…Joanne

You can have hashimoto's without having significant TPO antibodies in a blood test. I have never shown the antibodies, and I wasn't diagnosed with hashimoto's
until I had surgery to remove out of my thyroid. They look at the nodules and your symptoms and basically diagnose it from there.

There's another antibody to know if you have Hashi is called Thyroglobulin antibody, so check it out. Is not only TPO, I don't have that one I have TG ( thyroglobulin)
