Swollen Tongue

The strange thing is that I have been feeling this since before I even really knew what the problem was.

Some days are better than others but I just wondered if anyone else had had this because I was thinking it might be a symptom of hypothyroidism.

I started having trouble swallowing and breathing so I went to several doctors over the course of several months...you know how it is getting in to see a specialist....

Anyway they decided to take out my right thryoid lobe because I had a sizeable lump there and it was compressing things in my neck.  About a week before surgery my left side went crazy and I developed a lump there.  They decided to go ahead and take out the whole thing.

I had a TT in March 08 and was diagnosed with Papillary Carcinoma with an Oxyphyllic Variant.  It ended up that I had several nodules on the right side and I think three on the left side.  The largest was 5 cm--or 2 1/2 inches. 

I was started on synthroid right after surgery and then switched to cytomel in preparation for RAI.  I started the LID yesterday and will go in for tracer and WBS on 6/3 and then receive radiation on 6/4.  Follow-up scans on 6/6 and 6/11. 

Thanks for replying....Take care of yourself.
