I have a strange lump feeling on the left side of throat (kinda ranges from under my neck to under my ear, I can feel it move when I swallow, it's between my skin and bones, if that makes sense. I also see some swelling going on a bit, and the other side is beginning to feel similar now. My throat doesn't hurt or feel sore. Thyroid disease runs in my family, from hyerthyroidism to autoimmune thryroid issues. *hoshimoto . . . I have been dieting for over a year and only lost 30 lbs, I'm very dedicated and watch everything I put into my mouth. I should have already lost 80 lbs. I am going to see my doctor tomorrow, and be tested for the types of thyroid disease that my sisters have. I'm just wondering if that's not it, could there be other things I need to be open to?
