Is it possible to get a tumour or cyst in your esophagus?

Gee, no wonder I have all these problems. I was looking at the symptoms of hyperthyroidism and I have so many. My diarrhea, mood swings, irregular periods, hot flashes. This could explain a lot of the problems I have been having!

I don't know how much they are, Cass. I have insurance through my husband's job, but you call some pharmacies and see how much they are.

This is a page that can tell you all the dosages at the bottom so that you can ask the pharmacies the prices. Most people I know take the yellow 100 mcg or the purple 75 mcg.

You will have to have them, regardless of the price though. Thyroid controls literally every function of your body and it's extremely important that you have the correct level of hormone.

OK. If I have to have them, I have to have them. Now I am worried. I will just have to go back to work more hours or try to get on Dan's insurance. I am looking at info now. Is there a chance it's just Thyroiditis and not Thyroidism though right? I guess I will know tomorrow when I get the tests back.

I hope the pain goes away with treatment?

Well I feel much better this morning after taking my anti-inflammatories! I don't feel such a hard lump in my throat and am not having as much trouble breathing.

Glad your feeling better, hope you continue to too! I also hope it is just Thyroiditis.

Also if you have to have pills & cant get on Dans ins. than try to get medicare or medicade (not sure which one is which, but thruoght social services), sometimes you may become elidgable if you have a serious,costly &/or constant medical problem.

Thanks! I do feel better. In fact, I have to take my meds now that I ate and have something in my tummy.

I am going back to the ER tonight to pick up the rest of my medication since my doc left last night and the meds they were going to give me (Tylenol 3) were all gone and they needed another doctor to write a prescription for the pharmacy. We had to leave as my friend had to go to work and I told them I will pick them up after Dan gets home. He stayed home with Dylan while I went to the doctors so I didn't have to have a screaming child in the ER with me.

I came home and he had cleaned the living room and kitchen, AND made me dinner.

Oooh I forgot to say that I saw my favorite doctor again! The one who treated my scratched eye! When I went in for my eye I was glad to have him as my doctor as he saved me from my tooth pain after I had Dylan and was having a really bad infection. He knumbed me up twice and saved me.

Then it was funny when I had him for my eye because I remembered him and he remembered me too. So yesterday I knew he was there because I knew his voice. So I went out and I was like Hey look at my eye! LOL He thought it looked very good but said I might want to go to an eye person because I am still having a little bit of pain. It was nice to see him again. I want him as my doctor because he is so caring, fast, and treats you with respect unlike some of the other people who work there.
