goiter, funny throat feelings, was Re: SLEEP APNEA/goiter

[Guest guest]

I don't have a goiter, but I have learned that when I am feeling

particularly hypo and tired (as I am tnite) that the inner sides of my

throat hurts - I visualize it as being where the wings of the thyroid

are although it aches all the way out to the sides where the gland

doesn't go (at least from the pictures of it). I've had a few docs

palpate it and they all say that it feels slightly enlarged but no one

has noted nodules or anything like that.

How can I be low while ramping up my T3. I mean I know I still have hypo

symptoms, and need to raise more, but I am getting SOME, so should be

much higher than I was before I started T3? It is only as my dose has

increased that I've had this symptom.

at a certain stage in raising thyroid meds you rach a poitn where you

are takign enough ot lower your TSH but it can be less thyroid

replacement than what your thyroid was making and you go a bit more hypo

than you were.
