Default Thyroid/Hashimotos?

Hi Everyone, got a question, I had an appt last week with my gyno, and she is surprised that I'm not being treated for the thyroid issue, she said especially since I tested positive twice for the autoimmune thyroid panel, and that my T3 levels were twice as high as they should have been, she called it Hashimotos, she said that usually they treat you for this, now I'm seeing my Rheumatologist tomorrow so I'm confused as to what is going on with this part of my problems.
I do have enlargement in the front of my neck, it's so noticeable that I actually look awful on pictures there is definitely swelling in the front of my neck, I've had an ultrasound done and an up-take scan done of my thyroid and my rheumy said that they were both fine, can this be that these scans are fine but my tests are not and I still have enlargement, I've had my rheumy and my family doc both say that yes my thyroid gland is definitely enlarged.
I'm so confused, I don't know what to do with this part.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks! DaisyMae
