I just found out that I have a multi nodular goiter . I had a biopsy, which showed no abnormal cells. My doctor says that my levels are normal and if he removed part of my thyroid I would have to take meds for the rest of my life. He basically blew me off, he said that he thinks I have GERD and told me to take prilosec , that this is causing my hoarseness. My thyroid is larger on my right side and visible ,I feel it pushing on my throat, I cannot swallow pills, which I have never had a problem with before, my throat stays so dry, when I wake up in the mornings I cannot hardly talk. I went to my primary physician today and he is scheduling me with an ENT doctor. I know it is my thyroid causing my problems , does anyone have any suggestions.
