Hi,

I've had TOS for a long time (10+years). Luckily, I've been able to manage my symptoms. I was very interested in the thread regarding thyroid disase and TOS. Lately, I've noticed that the muscles around my throat are going into a spasm. It feels like I'm getting strangled and makes me gag. I seem to be able to trigger it when I yawn. Does anyone else have this symptom? I am currently under the care of the endocrinologist for unexplained bone loss in my jaw. I do not have gum disease. I've had a bunch of blood tests done and so far, and have found out that I am very deficient in Vitamin D. My doctor has ruled out osteoporosis. I was on high dose vit. d supplements for a while and now my ionized calcium levels are too high. I just had a thyroid panel run so am now awaiting results.

Also, just wondering with the compression of nerves and blood vessels, wouldn't that affect the circulation to your brain or jaw? I've had a lot of brain fog lately and wondering if it's related to the TOS.
