garoteBeen through a lot, but, I'm feeling better these days.
Blood tests came back all normal, including the antibody test, except for the one for TSH. It's still low. I had a thyroid ultrasound and they discovered generalized inflammation, "the usual amount" of cysts, and one "nodule" on the left that my doc says should be investigated. So I've been referred to an endocrinologist.

I hope it's fine though. Good luck!
