Thanks to all who responded. It's so nice to be able to talk to people who can relate. I hope we all get better soon. Dokayo - yes when I swallow sometimes I hear this gurgling sound like liquid is being squeezed through a small opening. Do you get that? What is that indicative of? My ENT said this may be a neuropathy type syndrome and gave me a script for Neurontin but I'm not sure I want to go down that pathway just yet. I do have an endocrinologist. I have an enlarged thyroid, one of the nodules is 4 x 5 cm so that baby needs to come out. Hopefully that will take care of all these anoying symptoms. If not, it's one less thing to worry about.
