my goiter swelled after a family trip during hot weather. at time, did not know i was hypothyroid. i did not make a connection untill i read your post. i remember it being in the upper 90's. and i went to er a few days later with a painful goiter. unfortunately, i was not diagnosed properly. anyone else experience this?

Well - the goiter swells in general, never getting back to original size (ie - before I knew it was there) and makes my whole neck tight, but, I have noticed that it get bigger than usual after sitting outside in the 100 degree weather we are having. (Gotta love the Louisiana heat). After a day in the heat, it does get a little funny prickly feeling, but that part goes away after cooling off for a couple of hours. It also swells when I am cleaning, mowing, etc, basically when I am active.
