Well, when I had trouble with mine the first thing that I noticed was that I had a sore throat. However I cannot say that my voice changed in anyway. If you feel up and down your neck in the area of soreness tilt your head from one side to the other . you will feel a little nodule on either or both sides of the  neck this is probably a goiter. Which would indicate a thyroid condition.

The function of the thyroid gland is to take iodine from your food and convert it into thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).  T3 and T4 are then released into the blood stream and are transported throughout the body where they control metabolism (conversion of oxygen and calories to energy). Every cell in the body depends upon thyroid hormones for regulation of their metabolism. \n\nIf your thyroid is under active then it's not producing enough T3 and T4 to properly maintain your metabolism.  If you have an under active thyroid then I'm sure you already know that one of the symptoms is feeling weak and tired.  You can also get dry hair, gain weight, get dry skin, get irritable, lose your sex drive, feel cold a lot, have a poor memory and there are a lot of other symptoms as well.\n\nYou will probably have to stay on the supplements for life unless you want to deal with the symptoms...and who would want that?

Have you had any blood work recently, and have you ever been tested for thyroid problems?  That can make you cold all the time, there are other symptoms too like brittle dry hair, brittle fingernails, hair loss, etc.

I think the first diagnosis is not related to thyroid problem.\nTapeworm can result in changes in neck lymph node (cervical node).\nThyroid nodule can be benign hyperplasia, adenoma or carcinoma (cancer).  \nBlood tests can be helpful in the work up along with history and physical exam.\nThyroid scan (like X-ray study) and/or ultrasound may be necessary.  A quick and relatively non-invasive fine needle aspiration of the thyroid nodule can also be helpful to determine whether the nodule is cancer or not.\nEndocrinologist normally is experienced in dealing with thyroid nodule.\nGood luck.

What kind of feeling is it in your throat when you say nagging? like a cough, biley hot feeling, tickle? thickness?  It could be alot of things.  Have you ever had your thyroid checked out with blood work?  I'm not a doctor but if I were you knowing what I do about different illnesses, I would ask for a complete bloodwork check to check out the thyroid, white counts, etc.  Also a sinus xray to see if there really is an infection.  The ear problems could be related to sinus but also you could have an inner or middle ear infection or just fluid in there that needs to be treated.  The lymph nodes are what take the gunk out of your body, they also send antibodies and antigens to fight off problems so it sounds like something might be draining into those nodes.  It could be related to your stomach problems if you had alot of acid reflux, because when you lay down at night, it would back up in the throat and the area between the throat and sinus.  You could have an infection there.  You need to be on a special diet for the bowel and stomach problems, has anyone helped you with that?  Sometimes they send people to dieticians, other times just tell you to watch what you eat.  You can find diet help here if you don't have info already:  http://www.helpforibs.com/diet/faq.asp#break_cycle\n\nDefinitely get back to the doctor or find a new dr that will run the tests you need to find out what is really wrong.

Have a blood test to have your thyroid checked.  If you're hypothyroid you can be cold all the time.  Do some reading on the symptoms and see if you have any others.

There are some signs and symptoms of thyroid problems, but no diagnostic way of confirming without blood work.\nLook up hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism on web for some of the signs.

It sounds like the same thing I am dealing with, I have had laryngitis 3 times in the last 6 weeks and my throat feels raw.\nI have been  to the doc and am on my second week of antibiotics and yesterday even got a shot.\nI was told to call back at end of week and if I still cannot talk, next step is ear nose throat specialist, where they will put a scope down my throat to check my vocal chords. I am hoping I feel better before that.\nHave you been checked for mono? That was another possibility.\nFeel better.

I am recovering from a cold right now and can say that this time I had no "loud" warning signs - I just woke up last week and it was here.\n\nIt varies from one person to the next in addition - each time you catch a cold you don't experience the same symptoms.\n\nTypically I will experience a throat discomfort (sore or scratchy); nasal and/or head congestion usually sets in once the cold is already present.  You might experience chills, loss of appetite and tired.

I hope your appointment went well and you got all the info you needed about the treatment. I was diagnosed in 2001, with both hypothyroidism, goiter and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and have been taking thyroxine ( i think it's the same as Synthroid) 100mcg daily. I was overweight, tired, had hair loss, but now after all this time I feel pretty much normal. I started feeling better very soon after starting thyroxin therapy, I think it was within weeks. I have also been practicing yoga since 2002 and it has been such a great balancing aspect in my life, and  has helped a lot in dealing with the thyroid disease. Please do get in touch if you want to have a chat.

Is she overweight or put a  lot of weight on recently or is she losing weight?\nShe may have an under or over active thyroid, if so she will need to have blood tests.\n\nMy Mom had this (overactive) her voice went really hoarse and her hair came out in clumps and her face went unrecognisable. She went to the doctor and had to have loads of blood tests and was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid.\n\nShe took thyroxine tablets every day for the rest of her life which controlled it.

The thyroid gland is enlarged and may be out of its normal place. It can be complicated and may require surgery but relax(if you can) because it is treatable.
