Well what do you know, I have thyroiditis! Seems like my thyroid is not working like it should, and it's swollen which is why my throat hurts. The pain was right where my thyroid is according to the doctor. Can you believe it? A thyroid problem. Geez. I thought I had a tumour LOL. They used a long thingy to look down my throat which made me gag. I just barely got back. I got to the ER at like 12:30 and it's now 6:47! So I am on anti-inflammatories and pain meds and am waiting for two test results back tomorrow that are supposed to measure the amount of HCT or something like that. It hurts worse now because the doctor kept poking and prodding me. For some reason the doctor wouldn't tell me what a positive test result would mean and what the treatment would be. He explained to me that instead of my thyroid sending a message to my brain to make thyroid stuff my thyroid is doing it all by itself.

I also had to get my ears flushed because I had a lot of wax buildup which is why my ears hurt. So all in all I think I did fairly well. I am still in pain and am waiting to eat something before I take my pain meds but wanted to let everyone know what was wrong. I just never would have thought my thyroid would be the cause.
