My only comment here is about the dosage.  I'm taking timed release Cytomel
and I take 37.5 mcg twice a day.   So, you're dose isn't very high.  I don't
know how much regular cytomel they give or why they just gave you T3 since
the majority of doctors will only use T4 and not even a mixed product
(Armour.)

Note, I'm not saying more cytomel is definitely your answer, I suspect more
thyroid medicine of some kind may be part of it, but I don't know about the
nodules.

In regard to the thyroid removal, be sure to get opinions here and also
search the archives at www.emissary.net/thyroid, I believe many are unhappy
with the results.
