Flare ups ???

[Feedbackwelcome]

I all, awaiting app. With general surgery, I have no diagnosis of anything, just an u.s which identified 6 nodules mixture of solid and non solid, bloods done at g.p all clear. So my question isWhy do I experience voice change, nausea and swallow issues on and off?

I had a great xmas ate and drank like totally normal however before that Had above going on for approx 2 wks. And now I feel it coming back again so if I'm not hypo or hyer why does it come and go. Thanks all

Can you give us the actual numbers, please: results and ranges? Just saying they were 'all clear' is meaningless. And doctors are notoriously bad at interpreting blood test results - IF they've even done the right tests!

No, don't ask the GP, qsk at reception for a print-out.

Hi

I struggle from 2014 till 2018 with what I called my flare ups😄 they would come and go, one day my voice and swallowing was normal, the next I was talking like I'd smoked from birth [ never been a smoker] and my food got stuck had to swallow several times with a drink just to get it down.

Then sweating joined the symptoms, then a slight tremor, I saw my GP and he put it down to the menopause 🙄 this went on until 2018 where I eventually couldn't cope anymore, I'd lost weight to , eventually got the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism [ graves].

But it was the flare ups I was concerned about, the endo I saw told me I was attacking my thyroid intermittently making it go overactive, then the attack would stop, but in the last year I was constantly attacking my thyroid which lead to my diagnosis and eventual thyroidectomy 😔 but I always say...." you know your own body"

Pity our GPS don't listen to us..😡

Did u have nodules at the beginning? Really appreciate the response, seems to be getting more frequent

I have a multinodular goitre and my symptoms come and go as well. This is because I have Graves’ disease and when my antibodies are high my thyroid is under attack and it swells up. As    greygoose says you need to get a print out of your results to put on this site for advice. Also check that your surgery has GP access where you can log into your records and see what your blood results are. We have this at my surgery and it is so easy to use.
