oh and I'm not gonna start another question but my mom just found something a few mins ago. I told her I had found for the past several weeks that one side of my neck feels more swollen then the other. I didn't know if I was imagining it or not so she felt it. Not only did she agree but she also found what she thinks is the beginning of a goiter. She said it felt kinda swollen in my thyroid area on the right side. And she knows pretty much what to look for since she's a pharmacy student and evidently they learn this stuff. But I had a seasonal flu shot yesterday. Could this in any way cause the swelling? I've felt my neck swollen for weeks but never felt near my thyroid. It didn't even cross my mind.
