attack? whats wrong with me? any advice?

about a week ago now, i had some sort of attack. idk what it was but it was right... i had like a SEVERE (like from 1-10 pain 10 being the worst,  i'd say about 20) pain in my cervical spine (where the cervical spine meets the thoracic spine). I noticed that the abnormally large bump i had there was really swollen. it was burning and really hot to the touch, and it kept coming and going... but eventually the pain didnt go away, and it was hard to sit, stand lay down, anything. i couldn't get comfortable. then suddendly i felt like my thyroid was exploding and tightening in my neck and strangling me. going in circles around my neck over and over and over again... then it started going down my spine and moving my cervical spine from side to side... circling up and down my entire spine. and suddenly i felt something burst and like a waterfall effect of this liquid giong down my spine and sending a burning sensation straight down the spine. and my bump shrunk. it slowly started shrinking more and more... and eventually the circling of whatever it was got faster and worse and worse. it started going up my throat and choking me. and eventually i lost control of my entire body. and i had constant tremmors. i seriously looked like i had MS. and i was done for.. i couldnt walk or talk. i couldnt do anything.. when my body finally started to slow down and loosen up a little (my hands were still all crampy and inward at my chest and wrists bent and fingers in all different angles and i still couldnt walk because of the way my leg muscles were restricted me from walking), i tried to talk and i was stuttering. i do NOT have a stuttering problem, i do have a problem with reading words correctly and mixing them up, or having lack of words occasionaly when my brains all stressed... but i didnt know what to think at that point. stuttering?
the doctors looked at me like i was crazy once again

its a thyroid question.. sorry if i worded it odd... i'm having troubles lately getting my words put together properly or coming up with the correct word. my memory is slipping for whatever reason...

i have not ben diagnosed, and i have been tested (well, my TSH levels anyways)..
THe doctor took my blood test to test for the levels, and said that the TSH wer low, but he wanted to focus on another problem i have going on with my health first before he tends to the thyroid...
& my doctors really suck.. they dont look outside the box, or think anything that i think could be wrong with me is wrong with me so they wont test for anything...

& i'm not dyslexic, but my mother was.

My question is - is this a thyroid question?  Have you been diagnosed with a thyroid problem?  If so, which one?  If not, have you been tested for any thyroid issues?  If not, why?

I second the thought of calling 911 -- who cares what problems sister has, what she  thinks or how many kids are running around; if you have a medical emergency, you need to call 911.  It's that simple.

Are you dyslexic?  "problem with reading words correctly and mixing them up".

hey! my sister didnt think it was important or severe enough, simply because she's freaking out and having a few health problems of her own.. and there was a million kids runing around... no stroke. would a stroke be like that? and an MRI, no.. the dr's all think i'm crazy.

My first thought was Why didn't you call 911?  Stroke?  MRI?
