PS: Marla, I also have an enlarged thyroid gland, which is a multi-nodular

goiter. That's not the swelling I am concerned about though, because I know

what it is.

PS: Even the messages I send from gmail show up in AOL. I'll have to contact

again. I know they corrected my primary address because I can send from

gmail. I just don't understand why after I send them, they keep showing up in

AOL.

(Hypothyroidism) Re: Another Doctor Visit

" When you say " swelling " , I'm not sure what you really mean. Is it a

localized raised lump, a general swollen condition like edema ( fluid under

the skin) in a certain area, or an actual gland that is enlarged? I have had

edema and an enlarged thyroid. I know you had a fna on thyroid nodules, but

the entire gland/lobe may also enlarge in a more fiberous manner. This could

be related to Hashis and/or not enough thyroid.

Is the swelling near your trachea in the neck or lower? Are the swollen

areas tender to the touch?

Marla "

Hi Marla,

Thanks for your reply.

I would say it's a genera swollen condition like edema. The swelling is

behind the collar bone at the base of my neck on both sides. There is also

a little puffy swelling at the base of my neck in front. That's been there

since mid-December. A few nights ago I noticed a round swollen area over my

right cheekbone, which is exactly how the ones at the base of my neck

started, It started out round, then became less defined and larger. The

swollen areas aren't tender to touch. Weird isn't it? When I asked the

doctor if he couldn't just do a needle biopsy, to see what it is, he said

there is no way they are going to stick a needle in there when they don't

know what it is. How are they going to find out what it is, if they don't

take any out.

Even though I had been sending from gmail, the group messages keep coming to

AOL. I was copying the messages from AOL and pasting them into gmail to answer,

so they would continue to be sent from gmail. Sometimes I just answer from AOL,

since that's where I receive the group messages, even though my primary e-mail

has been changed to gmail.

I'm beginning to think I should have just resigned from the group with the AOL

address, and rejoined with the gmail address. I still might do that if it

doesn't get straightened out. I knew there was a reason I put off changing my

e-mail address for so long.
