are these symptoms?,what are the symptoms?
by crambone, Nov 08, 2009 06:19PM
i am a 35 yr old male,non smoker/drinker.
father developed thyroid cancer believed to be linked to his heart meds.....
....recently i have developed for no apparent reason a severe sore/stiff neck.
had blood work done,came back clean for whatever they tested for.
...had a ct scan with contrast done on neck and head,,,and was told it was clean also.
but the neck,though better in some ways still bugs me.
seems like the area around my adams apple is sore still...i thought arterys,but ct scan and contrast said there fine.
in the past though i have been experiencing weard symptoms,that i now think could be linked if it is my thyroid.
1..feeling of being very hot/flush for no reason at all.
2..left eye aften feel like it "pulls" or isnt right,vision is fine.
3...muscle aches and craps for no apparent reason in different areas...mid back,knee,neck
4...lightheaded sometimes for periods of time,and then that too goeas away.
5...tingly feelings throughout the body,,,like little cold pin pricks here and there,not constant and pretty uch everywhere for periods of time.
6...sometimes LIKE a headache,but it feels like its the back of the head/heck/throat area...usualy goes away with ibuprofin.
7...heart sometimes beats fast while at rest for no aparent reason,,usaly returns to normal after awhile.
ALL IN ALL I HAVE BEEN CHECKED FOR ALL THERE ITEMS AND HAD THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN TESTS FOR EVERYTHING FRO DIABETES TO HIV,,AND NOTHING SHOWS UP.
I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK,,,,and now this pain in the neck that has been lingering for the past week has me thinking possible thyroid issues??????????????
please let e know what you,the people with real issues think is possibly going on,thanks much,,,cram

From what you describe I don't think you have a thyroid problem. I do think that you have a lot of anxiety around your health, when all apparently has been tested as being fine.
The problem when we are anxious about our health is that we begin to notice every sensation and analyse it in depth. However the comprehensive testing you've had would appear to have ruled out anything major. And you are spending a lot of money you could otherwise be enjoying.
I think your focus now should be on the basics such as exercise (if you aren't already 30 - 60 minutes of exercise a day should help a lot), diet (high in fruits, vegetables and healthy carbs and lean proteins), stay active and interested in life. Meditation or tai chi or yoga could also be very beneficial, I believe.
Very best wishes to you.
as for the labs someone elce asked about,i cannot tell you what all they have tested for!..there was soo much.
i know they checked all the numbers for the liver,pancreas,gallbladder,blood pressure,major illnesses,diabetes,hiv,stds,hepatitis,everything was ok.
im also wondering about possible lymes disease?...but thats another subject.
your right though,a better diet and exercise would do me good,,thanks again,,,cram
Actually, from what you describe, many of your symptoms DO sound like they can be thyroid....autoimmune thyroid, especially Graves. Although, I'd find it hard to believe that your Dr. didn't test you for this since he/she tested so many other things.
My best advice to you would be to talk to your doctor and find out what he/she has tested for. Communicate with your doctor. You pay for those appointments, so make the best of them. If you don't trust your Dr., find another.
Good luck!
