I was diagnosed with hashimoto's thyroiditis a little over two years ago, since then my medications have continued to increase as well as my fatigue. In the last month I have found myself having gained at least 10 pounds (with more activity than normal), I could fall asleep at the drop of a hat and I have trouble moving my neck from side to side without severe pain. Also I have this warm sensation in my throat, almost at the base of my neck (towards the front). It feels as though when I breathe in it cools it and that i have warm air coming out, it also feels somewhat tighter than normal. I constantly want to drink something cold to cool it but it doesn't feel like a sore throat at all. I can talk normally and my neck doesn't appear to be swollen (with the exception of the weight gain). I think it all has something to do with my thyroid but I don't want to be a worry wart and call my endocrinologist - any advice?
