brain fog is a big thyroid symptom for me....

on your thyroid panel, did you look for hashitmotos antibodies? I have seen some published work and also some things written at About.com regardign treating for thyroid deficiency if you have antibodies...even if the thyroid isn't out of range yet, the idea being that if you have antibodies, the thyroid is likely to be in decline, and by supplementing with thyroid hormones, you can slow the decline.

there are many others on here who have swallowing difficulties, which would seem related to your throat spasms. I had a little of this right after my second rib resection surgery- very weird and scary. You can also get temporary symtoms like that after botox injections, though I haven't had that myself.

In any case, these are just thoughts to chew on and perhaps run past your doctor. none of us are medical professionals, and we can only share our own personal experiences.
