Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 If your thyroid is that swollen some kind of action needs to be taken. What did the Doc do? I hate to say it, but if it continues to be that way it probably needs removed or killed . The only thing that would affect would be that you would need to stay on the syntrhoid forever, but then once you're on it awhile you probably need to anyway. The only tips are, of course, to make sure you chew your food thoroughly and if you are having trouble with nutrition as a result of the problem take a supplement. If you need to crush any of your meds, make sure you check to see if they are meds that can be safely crushed--some have enteric coatings that effect where in the digestive system they are absorbed and should not be crushed.
