yes, I had been to the ER a few years back when it was starting to get bad,

they charged me $469.00 and told me they were not equiped to do any type of

testing on a thyroid and for me to go see a DR about this.

so I did, and have been going to various ones for the past few years. most

of the DRs will look at me, some will shake their heads , sonme say they

have no idea whats in there, and then others will say we need an MRI.. but I

also need $1500.00 ......we dont see that much in one month, let alone for

one test...I cant pay that for a test and still pay my rent and utilities

too !!!!!!!!!!! so its one or the other,.

the thing in my throat has been bothering me a lot for over 10 yrs, but its

getting bigger and now I cant find a position that is comfortable anymore. I

use to make a fist, tuck it under the left side of my neck to keep the thing

in my throat on the right from pushing the windpipe over. now I cant do

that.

when the DR feels my throat they barely touch the skin, they feel on the

front by the dent then each side of the front and they are done. and its all

fine there.

the thing in my throat is not on the front, it starts from the right side

and goes around to the back of my throat, the only time it can be felt is if

I push on the left side of my throat , it pushes something huge over to the

right side, and then when you feel the right side it feels like a ping pong

ball is in there...but its hard, and then it goes around the back of the

windpipe. and now the sensation is down my throat and into the chest about 6

inches down from the collar bone.

I have no clue what this is. and not a single DR has a clue either.

but there is nothing on my throat outside to indicate anything wrong as its

all internal.

I cannot sit, stand, lay or anything now without the horrible feeling,

something must be pressing on the nerves.

is there anything else that can do this ??? maybe it has nothing to do with

my thyroid, but all I know is where it is and its now putting undue pressure

on my windpipe.

sometimes I will gag or cough.

if I were to feel my neck right now, it feels slender and fine, but to the

right side, the neck muscles seem to be puffed out a bit...and this is the

ONLY thing that can be felt unless I push the item over to the side with my

hands.

whatever it is, I can move it side to side. I just grab my throat and on

either side if the dent or dimple..whatever its called... the trach ??

I can get fingers on either side, and then just move side to side..the whole

thing moves, the right side is twice as big. I could not do this 10 yrs

ago, but over the years its getting to be a real problem.

my mother had her thyroid removed, and she said when they did, they found it

had wrapped around her windpipe and was in the back. so this is the only

reason I thought it was the thyroid, but I could be wrong, it could be

something else in my throat... I just dont know what.......but the DRs dont

seem to care really. I guess they are waiting til something really serious

happens to me before they will listen to me.

so right now I am trying to survive with it. if I could only find a low

cost test, we coudl find out what it is and see how to correct the problem.
