You need to see an endocrinologist. There are a number of blood tests to detect thyroid disease and your doc may be missing a crucial one. In light of the goiter you say you have, you should at least be getting a thyroid scan or ultrasound as well. There’s more to diagnosing a thyroid disorder than just blood tests.

What kind of blood test did you have? Did the doctor just do a TSH? If so that is not enough. You need to have your Ft4 and Ft3 checked. Also if you have a goiter you may be Iodine defincent. Check out the following web site.
