Hi all,
I do not know anyone else with a multinodular goitre so thought I would pop on here to see if anyone has any experience. To give you some background, dentist felt a lump in my neck nearly 4 years ago. A few weeks of worry/tests later, confirmed multinodular goitre. Throat full of cysts. Thyroid bloods fine. Went back 2 years after at my request as I thought it was growing. Scanned, all fine but no one told me if it had grown or not. GP didn't have measurements from the first scan. Anyway......woke up a few days ago and it was like it had grown overnight. Most def more noticeable and now can 'feel' it when I move my head, swallow, yawn and cough. Really odd. I have booked myself in for bloods and have a doctors appt on Monday anyway as currently being investigated for high blood pressure. Its not that high, but high for me as usually low with no problems. Recent bloods showed bad cholesterol was 3.1 and they like it 3 or under. All other bloods (no thyroid bloods) all fine.
I was wondering if anyone else had ever had this happen to them and what the cause was? Of course, could have turned malignant but last scan was this April so hoping unlikely!
Unless it was cancer, I am not keen on an operation but its REALLY quite obvious now. If bloods are fine I don't think there is anything in terms of meds I can take to reduce it - But again, I know no one who has this so am really interested to hear others story's....
Thanks in advance.
