I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's one year ago this October. I've read one of the characertistics is that the thyroid can swing between Hyper and Hypo sysmptoms (in fact, it was Hyper symptoms that orginally got me in to see the doc in the first place: trembling, panic attacks, heart palpitations, sweating, intolerance to heat). And believe me, I can tell which way the thyroid is swinging when it happens. Anyway, Over the last year I've become much more evened out and have overall felt really good. However, the last three to four weeks I've been feeling really "off" and one of the things that has returned is a gagging sensation in my throat. If I'm not sucking ona peppermint or chewing gum, I tend to feel like I'm about to gag constantly. IS this the "limp in the throat" feeling I've seen described on these forums or somethinbg else? How do you all deal with this symptom? It's quite annoying.
