Does anyone know if there is an issue putting in a breathing tube (tracheal intubation) when the patient has a goiter? My goiter seems a bit large (probably medium compared to really bad cases) and just worried that they might have an issue getting the tube down... ?!?
Assuming people with hypothyroidism will be able to answer this, I want to also ask: Was your weight loss slower than what others post because of your thyroid issues? Has the fatigue from your thyroid disease gotten any less intense?
I really hope my weight loss will help me feel half way normal again. Everyday feels like walking through quicksand.. fatigue..no energy. (My meds: 125 mcg Synthroid) Bleh. Thanks for reading.
