Thank goodness you may be narrowing this down to something! I have thyroid nodules and could identify with your hard to swallow/breath feelings... I get them sometimes, too. Mine (nodules) aren't active, though, and my hormones seem to be fine now since I got on an AD (I've been through a b-zillion tests). I feel like you're on the verge of getting this figured out!http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20050322/msgs/474572.html
PS: It took quite a few weeks for me to *really* feel the positive effects on Lamictal.
