Carotid Arteries' Relationship to Thyroid?

[Guest guest]

I think I posted something general about this a very long time ago, but this gives very detailed descriptions of all the relationships of all these blood vessels to all the neck structures, etc......What I'm saying is that this makes us think of so many possibilities when it comes to ongoing brain fog, a feeling of a lack of oxygen (don't want to scare anyone, but hey, we need to know, if we're still having these problems even after reaching the right hormone levels), and generally feeling fatigued. I'm just throwing this out there, when this is the case. As you read, you're probably going to see these possibilities, as many of us with a very distorted thyroid, that has remained sick for way too long and has a very enlarged odd shape to it-------and how this may affect some of us. There's not very much room in a person's neck for all of this, and when the thyroid has enlarged or has nodules in certain places, then why WOULDN'T there be a "main circulation" problem. And doctors say so often "take a pill a day and it'll all go away" ??????? This is more than serious business, when you're talking about the two main arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the brain. BTW, I ran across this link when I was looking for possible explanations as to why so many thyroid people have earringing. It was when I got off into other reasons other than actual ear disease, that I found this. But then, if it's already related and so close by, couldn't it also cause the oxygen supply to be haywire to the ears, as well as the brain, IF the shape of the thyroid was involved here. Maybe THAT'S why so many of us Hashi's people have earringing and hearing disturbances eventually, if the disease is not treated properly over a lot of time, i.e., TSH not suppressed, allowing the thyroid to do massive destruction to itself, i.e., distorted size and shape. You can see one of my artieries on the left side of my neck. That's been there for more than 10 yrs or so.
