Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Thank you for the warmwelcome back. I have a question about goiters. When a goiter is developed from the thyroid where is it located and how fast would it swell. My Mom who was hyper is now hypo thyroid. Looks lijke she has a golf ball just behind jaw but in front of ear. Would it be thyroid or lymph node related. She is waiting to hear from doc she had a cat scan today.

It's a Free T3 LOWER in it's range that the Free T4 is in it's range that is the red flag for conversion problems.... Whew... I'm glad that we keep an eye out for each other!!

Remember way back there, I was having sooo much brain fog that I posted an answer or question or something to THIS forum (with a brand NEW post) that was actually supposed to go to another forum? ly, I was so screwed up that I didn't even know the difference in what I was seeing on my computer screen, teehee!

Re: Posted by: " topper2@... " topper2@... toppertwo Tue Jan 30, 2007 4:19 pm (PST) Jackie..... You've heard the expression 'the customer is always right'? When you go to see the doc, who is the customer? What are you paying the doctor to do (be it money directly out of your pocket or through the insurance company that you pay premiums to)? If he isn't doing his job, what should you do about it? If you took your car in to get a flat tire fixed and all the guy did was add air to the tire and tell you that the whistle sound of the air coming out of the nail hole was 'no big deal'. Would you pay him? Go back to see him again? I used to have docs on a pedestal too. Oh my gosh.. they had to go to college, then med school, the a residency.... they HAD to be smart, right? Ummmm no. Think about when you were in school.... did everyone in your graduating class have the same GPA? Was everyone equally smart? or dumb? Same for the docs.. there are good ones, there are analytical ones, there are empathetic ones, there are selfish egotists, there are demi-gods and there are blithering idiots. Me, no I figure if/when I ever see a doc again I'm going in with the same kind of consumer savvy I try to have with anything else... I want to know enough about what is going on during this service call to know if I'm being given professional and quality service or I'm being flim flamed for a fee. Heck, I wouldn't even mind having a buddy there with me to make sure that I don't miss any details... ..... my opinion.....

Re: Posted by: " Ken & Jackie Reimer " quest4us@... gardeningishard Tue Jan 30, 2007 4:32 pm (PST) Come with me!!!! Please! He is the 5th doctor I am seeing in a year and a half, I have fired all the others. I guess I could just keep moving forward and pick another one? I tell ya, when I go in, I am set, with notes and everything. I am pretty sensitive to energy, so when he flies in, talks really fast, types fast and is whirling in and out, I guess to make his ten minute timeframe, I feel like i am on a beat the clock show. Seems like he is trying to break his own record for how fast he can be in and out. Maybe they even pay them more for that??? All I know is if they took my BP after the visit instead of before I'm sure it would be higher. I posted on my homeschool group if anyone knew of a Dr. that could help me with my problem (thyroid) and i got a really good response, most with added comments about how they had to go outside of their insurance company to finally get help. Some also recommended books... <>> Any thoughts? Jackie > > Jackie.....

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I have one about the size of a pea... I think it's a lymph node. Mine swells up when I have an allergic reaction to something and goes down when it goes out of my system... sometimes, sometimes I feel like I am a walking allergen LOL.

(many times adrenalfatigue are a huge part of hypothyroid issues and need to be addressedsimultaneously). I use Dr. 's products and have had a lot ofsuccess with them. One thing many endo's overlook is that people withHashimoto's often need more T3 and MUST take Armour rather thanSynthroid because of the T3 in it. I take Armour AND a sustained releaseT3 tablet 2x a day. This alone made a huge impact on my symptoms. T3 also is significant in helping with the symptoms of puffiness,fatigue, heart disease, sugar balance, bone density, etc. For moreinfo on that read Hypothyroidism Type 2: The Epidemic by MarkStarr.I found that reading Thyroid Power and bringing it tomy endo was a little helpful and he was convinced to make somechanges for me, although he insisted that adrenal fatigue was "not areal syndrome" and wouldnt help me with that and I was still verysymptomatic - hence my finding Dr. Weber.>>>Any thoughts?JackieOn Jan 30, 2007, at 4:12 PM, topper2 (AT) juno (DOT) com wrote:>> Jackie.....
