they sent me to a lung specalist who basically said it was nothing so i went back to my doctor he put me on meds for the diabetic and thyroid but the pain in chest/back has not stopped or the voice horseness either. Do i need a higher dosage of medicine? Or is there something else wrong? I never knew thyroid could cause chest/back pain?

Six months after RAI, I became very hypothyroid because my dr at the time was not up on thyroid care. He wouldn't medicated me because my TSh was .001. I having severe charlie horses with any wrong move, was so tired, swollen, moving very slowly, emotional, losing hair and depressed. I can say this was the worst I've ever felt in my life. I felt like my body was shutting down. Being Hyper was an awful way to live and in general is worse than being hypo.

I have been on Thyroid meds for years. My dosage is 137 mcg at this point. My liver enzymes continually rise each time I have my blood work done. Because of this I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis I was put on steroids and was taking them for over 2 years. I finally weaned myself off of them after consulting with my Dr. and now have not taken them for 6 days. My question is: am I to expect to feel pain after getting off them?

2009-got swine flu and developed sever asmtha shortly after. 2010- back and forth to drs with symptoms of thyroid problems. blood work always came back ok so the dr says. 2011- ok now here are all my symptoms. I feel like I'm in a coma. I can't put my sentences together good. I try to exercise 3 times a week but I have to push myself to do this. I have went from a size 7 to a size 12 since last year. I eat like a bird and still gain weight.

I hope someone can help me. I have suffered with swollen ankles, legs and feet since my first pregnancy over 10 years ago. It was so bad towards the end of each pregnancy that I could not wear shoes at all...literally barefoot and pregnant - haha a great look :/ Got on the merry-go-round of thyroid issues after my second child was born, due to multi-nodular goitre, hypo, hyper, not medicated at the beginning because it always seemed to right itself, even though it fluctuated a lot.

and every time I google them I end up with Fibromyalgia, MS, Magnesium deficiency, B12 Deficiency, Thyroid problems... or worse, ALS. I stopped taking the B complex many months ago, and instead begin taking a multi vitamin with extra vitamin D on the side (1000IU). I did notice that it doesn't have a lot of Magnesium in it. It only has 50mg. Anyway, I have since developed issues with breathing after surgery.

On 10/26 I had an US of my thyroid that showed a 3.6cm mass of my R thyroid lobe. It is cystic and solid with peripheral vascularity. I had a CT Scan on 10/28 which showed roughly the same with no lymph node irregularities (sigh of relief)...I am a nurse so I have lots of docs to ask questions and the common census is "I doubt its malignant". Tomorrow 10/31 I have a FNA Biopsy. I am consumed with worry but have faith that even with the worst case scenario it is treatable.

My throat has also been feeling tight and a bit more swollen in the thyroid area so I thought it was time to be persistent with my doctor. He was very reluctant but believed that it might help considering my "hypothyroid-like" symptoms are still with me after a year since I started seeing him. He started me on 15mg and in a couple of days I can move up to 30mg and then move up again if I don't feel a difference.

Thanks! I realized that I must have raised my dosage by 15mg. after the latest labs. that I wrote about. Those labs were done 6 weeks after I started 75mg. Sorry. I'm confused! I'm at 90mg now. Have been for over 5 weeks .I was at 75 when last labs where done. I am still very symptomatic, as I have written above. Yes, I believe he's afraid to over medicate and go to 105 with meds. No, I did not take meds prior to the "hyper" draw. He says it doesn't matter!

I went to a vascular doc who did not know what was wrong with me. My vascular ultrasound was normal. My hands and ankles are always swollen and I am on my feet all the time at work. I can barely walk by the time I go home and the next day, my legs hardly move until they fully wake up. I take Butchers Broom and Horse Chestnut to help with circulation. I walk at least 30 minutes a day and I am fit.

First off, the raw thyroid in Natural Sources, is virtually non-existent, since there can be no measurable T3 or T4 in OTC products. That said, with a TSH of 0.3, you probably don't need any type of thyroid replacement hormones, but if you'll get current tests and post results (FT3 and FT4), with reference ranges, we might be able to help you.

My left eyeball actually feels swollen. It's not visible, but I touch it, and I feel the difference. I don't get a sharp pain at the top of it, but more like a bruise or a Charley Horse. Usually, I try to keep myself in the dark when that happened before, but now, I'm a freshman in college with essays and homework which demand light and the computer. I usually dull the screen, but lately, it has not been helping.

i have swollen legs and hands almost daily and my new doctor says she is surprised I don't have heart problems. what's up what that??? i have gained a lot of weight and am about 79 lbs overweight now. My blood pressure seems to be higher than it should be on a somewhat regular basis, but not often enough to be deemed as hypertensive. if i lose a ton of weight can i reverse any/all problems?

Several months ago, I came to this forum with the same symptoms and decided to seek medical attention for my chronic right side redness around tonsil, ear ringing (constantly)tongue tingling, gum area around rear teeth red/tender, and infection in the upper R throat near the tonsil(minor most times). Sore around r clavical. I have since then seen an ENT, scoped with a diagnosis of sinus problems, as my PCP has ademently suggested since the on-set of the symptoms back in August 05.

I had a lot of reflux (and still have some) as well as trouble swallowing- especially the calcium horse pills- after I had my thyroidectomy. It has improved a lot. I also had an uncomfortable tighness across my neck mostly toward the end of the day which I notice less and less. My surgery was June 24th. Good luck, I think time will be the biggest help.

I tried steroids, NSAIDS, 3 different thyroid medications and I was still feeling awful and after three months of having my thyroid swollen and compressing on my throat I decided to have a total thyroidectomy. I saw 3 different doctors who all said it may or may not shrink and it was making my life miserable, let alone all the other symptoms. I took all my frustration out on my husband, cried all the time, it was awful.

If I get around too much, or get ahead of myself, I'm winded, and get dizzy. My butt feels like I have been horse back riding, but really it's just being hypo and riding the couch. Not as much fun as horse back riding! Overall feeling very positive! I am hoping the next eight days fly by with no additional symptoms. I think I have covered them all. I dunno if I mentioned cold, before, but yeah...burr! February 2nd~ words of advice, stay off your feet. period. ow!

) Anyway, since giving iodine worked (and since she received no treatment for autoimmune thyroiditis), we can assume the goiter arose from thyroid deficiency. The thyroid does not always go down completely after that, btw. How were her most recent thyroid lab tests?

I had the right side of my thyroid removed in July of 2010. I had a benign tumor. Three days after surgery, I experienced stroke like syptoms. They did a MRI when I first started having these symptoms and discovered gray matter on my brain. The blood tests showed my liver enzymes and ammonia level were elevated. (They were normal before surgery.) They told me my slurred speech and trouble walking and remembering things was caused by anxiety.

last year because of extreme fatigue, headaches, and constant swollen lyph nodes on the left side of my neck I had a series of blood tests CT scans and MRIs done. i also had a surgical biopsy done of one of the many nodes in neck which appeared negative for cancer. Also have a hardened mass in my laranx which had an ultrasound for with no follow up from docs. That was a year ago.

Is any other horse at your barn sick or with the same symptoms? Or, has your horse been anywhere or exposed to other horses recently? Since the lumps are on both sides, it would rule out an insect bite or bee sting, so my incination is to say the the lymph nodes/guttural pouches are inflammed. This would indicate some sort of systemic infection. Just like the lymph nodes on our (human)necks get big and sore when we are sick.

This is a little long. - I have 6 thyroid nodules, one being complex and dominant. - I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck and one in my groin that has been swollen over a year. (only painful when other swelling in my groin is present ie. menstruation, or after an evening of drinking) - I've been getting hot flashes/night sweats for 15 years. I am only 42 years old. There is no way I have been perimenopausal for the last 15 years like everyone keeps telling me!

I had my first Dr. visit after finding out I have 5 thyroid nodules, one is largish (4.5cm). Although he recommended I remove my thyroid due to my family history and the fact that I have some many nodules he discredited all of my symptoms. The swollen feeling in my neck, the chocking sensation, horse voice, the trouble breathing he said the nodules I have are not large enough to cause those symptoms. I know I am not crazy and I am not making this up these symptoms are real!

With the pain comes a lot of fatigue. It's dead center on my thyroid that causes the most pain. I experience horseness talking too much or singing, and feel like I'm trying to swollow a big pill that won't go down. The only other thing I knew to request was a test for Hashimoto's. Am I being overly concerned about cancer? And, is there anything else that would be causing pain?

All of the glands in my neck swelled up, my throat got horse and it feels hard to swallow. I also have gained 30 lbs in the last 8 months without a change in my diet. I thought my salivary glands were swollen as I kept getting that biting into a lemon sensation and something under my tongue feels swollen. My ears also hurt. My PCP referred me to an ENT who felt a nodule on my thyroid and sent me for a sonogram.

i had a sono on my thyroid about 2 months ago it shows a few small cysts and the right part of my gland was swollen. my doc said it would go away. it did not its even bigger. then he said i had heart burn because nasids make my stomach hurt really bad he said to take previcid. and the goiter would go away its 10x worse. they told me after my first baby that i had fibromylgia because i have such horrable joint pain and i'm so weak i can't even carry my babies.

She is 35 years old and suffering from UCTD for the last 4 years, when she started having swellings on hand and foot , developed horseness of voice and used to have pain and fever.Her ANA test returned with 4+ speck and ESR of 53. Over the last 3 years, she has been on drugs like Thyronorm 100 mg(Thyroxine sodium ), OXCQ (Hydroxychloroquine), Tacko M (Omeprazole ), Nilitis (Nabumetone ) etc. During this time she has lost some hair, and skin complexion has become darker.

I have been recently diagnosed with empy sella/pituitary atrophy and have Hashimoto's too. My last labs on thyroid were FT4 low, but in range and FT lower middle, on Armour 90mg. Thyroid meds have been intolerable and have been on them a year before the doc checked my cortisol levels. My ACTH is 8, my AM cortisol is 6. Aldosterone/Renin normal and Low blood sodium, high urine sodium and normal potassium. I started on pred. for several days and was swithched to 20mgs.HC.
