Hi!
Just wondering if anyone can help.
I don't really have a great detail of knowledge about what's happening but I'll give you as much background as possible. Basically 7 years ago I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. And I took thyroxine up until 2 years ago when pregnant with my youngest. I had hypermesis so was unable to keep the medication down. Anyway had bloods taken constantly and my levels were coming back totally normal. Still are now showing as normal. All my other bloods are fine too including WBC.
For the past year I've had a raised lymph node in the back of my neck. It's squidgey and is able to be moved when pressing. Accompanying that I've had pain in my neck that whole time and also a sore throat with some hoarseness. The doctors have done bloods but have said everything was fine so sent me on my way. I've been seen multiple times for the same issues over the past year. The pain has started to spread into collar bone and armpit. So I went back again and they sent me for an ultrasound eventually 'for my peace of mind'. Scan showed my lymph nodes in my neck (didn't check elsewhere) are reactive. And I have a cystic thyroid nodule on the bottom left. Doctor said it's probably not cancerous but not happy to leave it so has put me on the 2 week wait for a FNA. She didn't tell me the size of the nodule. So I'm currently waiting for an appointment.
I guess I just wanted some reassurance more than anything or just someone to talk too. I have quite severe health anxiety so as you can imagine google has not been my friend. Symptoms are fatigue, sore neck down to under armpit. Hoarse voice,sore throat in the evenings, hair loss, dry scalp, itchy forearms, slight pitting in fingernails. Just wondered if anyone else has similar symptoms and what your outcome was? I'm 35 next month.
Thanks so much if you've read all that.
