I sure hate hearing how tuff it has been for you. I really wish your doctors would consider what you say more and be a little more compassionate. I would get my back checked out with x-ray or MRI if the pain continues in that direction. With your RSD are your allowed pain killers? I don't know alot about thyroid problems, only that I am loaded with nodes, that so far have not choked me or caused any problems. I am sorry your thyroid presents so many problems. In your counrty is there a specialist anywhere that can address this problem more? It sounds like you are very uncomfortable, and I sure hope you can find another opinion. That alone would help you not to feel so despondant. You do need a PCP that will have more empathy with your situation. I would also try to find an on line source of information about the thyroid and continue to show your research to your current physician. If you are showing that many symptoms of thyroid problems, I would not give up until I found a physician that would listen. I don't know what is available in your country. I wish that I could send you relief by e-mail. I wish I had some magic that would make it better for you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. don't give up. ginnie
