Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Sounds like you might be developing a goiter Chris. Best have that checked out. Sometimes allergy meds or other anti inflamatories work well to help curb the symptoms of a goiter. Allergies are a big part of auto immune responses and sometimes can trigger them. On days when you are really hoarse or cough a lot, mix some honey with lemon and swallow it. That will help lubricate your throat. I think many people have problems with swallowing because of goiters, but also because thyroid people stay dehydrated so there isn't enough natural saliva manufacturization. Good luck, -med ************ PLEASE EVERYONE NOTE... MY LAPTOP IS NOW GETTING FIXED! IT ONLY TOOK 3 YEARS LOL. SO I AM ON JOHN'S COMPUTER AND WILL ANSWER TO EMAILS WHEN I CAN.
