I just took a valium but I am so freaked out I can barely type. I just came back from therapy and she was being pretty dismissive and telling me it wasn't a big deal.
Can I just have some prayers and hugs? I'm really freaked out right now.

Hi Mountaindewed,
My wife is going through that very same thing. She has what is called Graves Disease. Some of the issues include nodules on the thyroid, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid eye disease. It can be managed quite well with a healthy diet. Other options include medication and the removal of the thyroid gland. My wife was able to shrink her 5 nodules. She goes in every 6 months for an ultrasound. She has been doing great for several years. I’m sure you will do great. My prayers are with you.
