Thyroid noise - one last crazy questions

[Saggyuk]

Sorry just one more question I meant to ask to thyroid people. Having a lot of problems right now so completely forgot to ask about this yesterday.

Another thing I noticed that was different is that my thyroid is making noises when you prod it and it can move more than usual. Plus it has been hurting on and off the past few weeks with a few glands popping up around it for short periods (like half an hour) Is this normal? Can't really explain the noise so well - maybe slightly popping, maybe the nearest image in my head is when you pull a wing of a chicken apart when you pop out the joint within all the cartiledge????

However, I've prodded it a number of times over the years - sometimes in a frustrated poking while exclaiming - "just start working god damn you", sometimes just a sore throat and feeling around for glands, sometimes just wondering if can feel the shrivelled up driedness of it looking for signs of regeneration and a miracle - then the endo prods it meticulously at every six month check up and it's never budged nor made a sound before.

Def not in my head - my mum can hear it so it's audible but don't want to sound super crazy when talking to endo later this week

Many thanks, Sarah

Hi, for a good while now I’ve also had a crackle or a popping noise when I breathe in and an sort of ‘echo’ when I breathe out. I’ve had a lot of unrelated problems lately so I worry about going to the GP with it.

Hi - sorry you're worried about it, no idea what that could be. Mines not linked to the breathing - literally just like cartilage noises when pressing it.

Have you done your blood tests etc? What problems are you having?

[Maisiemouse2016 in reply to Saggyuk]

Hi, no I think I’m due for a blood test. Drs never suggest until I ask or there’s an issue! I have a stage 3 pelvic prolapse, had a fall in the garden and have had treatment for acne - I’m 72!😂

Oh dear - so sorry I can't help more re pelvic prolapse etc. In regards to the acne, have you tried food intolerances, I always had bad spots and blisters everywhere up to age 30+ but all cleared up after dealt with food allergies/intolerances. Mine was Gluten/Wheat and a few other things but my health was great after so maybe worth thinking about if not already? I do hope you feel better soon xxx

[Maisiemouse2016 in reply to Saggyuk]

That’s kind of you. I have lymphocytic colitis, a form of IBD, which limits what I can eat. The doctor gave me a topical treatment for the acne and so I’ve got it more or less under control now!

I won't mention the chicken wings - Promise

Also in case you think I'm loosing the plot, just desperately looking for clues to get this sorted asap as I'm totally useless right now - can't cook or clean as heart goes into overdrive if stood up, even sitting up and although my daughter's at her dad's the past few days, I've somehow got to start the school walks again etc tomorrow so just at a loss as to how to do this. At least work have let me stay working from home for now until I feel better so less running about but I'm pretty useless at that too for now though
