I would suggest popping in on the thyroid forum here and talk to some of the members there.
It is possible for a thyroid issue to be a cause of some of ur issues....

Not to say there is nothing else going on...ur vagus nerve may be involved as well.

I am so sorry u r having pain.....the pharmacist at ur local drug store should be able to help u locate something to help u with in what u can afford.

We r in the same boat with no insurance.....so I understand ur frustrations.

Hi...did u get ur thyroid checked for nodules?...it can sometimes play a role in issues like this.

...u mention where they went in thru the front...if u had surgery b4, mayb u have scar tissue?

Good luck...I hope it went well and u have some answers
