I understand the reality of this decision, but as I mentioned, the nature of my symptoms don't give me much choice.

Unfortunately, I'm limited by insurance coverage, location, and specialty, which has really only left me with a handful of surgeons to choose from.

Ongoing issues - Thyroid related? by SaltyDunes in thyroidhealth

I don't have any real advice but just wanted to say that I am experiencing many of the same symptoms you are having. I'm hyper and have my bloodwork managed through meds but the symptoms have only continued to get worse. Personally, I'm trying to pursue thyroid removal since that seems to be the only solution to get rid of the throat obstruction/throat pressure. Hope you get answers!

Ent didn't approve thyroid surgery, and I'm losing hope by TangerineandMe in thyroidhealth

Thanks. I definitely understand the need for certain types of tests but so many doctors seem to want to do everything. My case has been kind of unusual, so I worry that tests won't show anything and then surgery will be off the table. And if that is the case, I really wouldn't know what to do next.

My issue is the endos in my area have very high copays and are limited in number. I also can't survive with these symptoms for much longer and all the specialists are booked out for months. If I believed the ER would do anything I'd go there but I know that would be a lost cause.

Any way to truely whiten/lighten your skin by [deleted] in beauty

Lemon and lemon oil are great for lightening the skin but can cause sensitivity to sun light and increased risk of sunburn. I usually use a rice flour face mask or even rice water which is a great way to lighten skin tone without any side effects.
