Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 Hashimotos is ONE FORM of thyroiditis – there are three types, including a “simple” viral form that can go away I had the radioactive uptake scan two years ago with no ill effects at all and am very sensitive to all meds, foods, etc. I also have goiter and sounds like the same as with you – sometimes I can’t swallow a green been others I have no problems with steak! I get the hoarse voice as well. I have Hashimotos, Hypo and goiter and am on T4 and T3. What does he think for a treatment plan or is he waiting to see results? Sue Hi All, My appt was yesterday. He was concerned re my Goitre and ordered many blood tests including Hashis. He also said it could Thyroiditis. ( I thought they were the same ). The Goitre is irregularly shaped and extends to the right hand side. Its not significantly large but I appear to have discomfort and trouble swallowing food, drinking and my voice can become husky at times.He basically told me to keep an eye on it.Blood test results next week. He seems to think that my Scan from 30 years ago would have been a radioactive uptake scan. I seem to recall that it can cause 'nasties' later ? Aussie Jane Quote
