I had been told at one time that I had a "goiter". My thyroid was enlarged. Nobody ever checked it out and I didn't think it was a big deal. I had been having a lot of health problems. A lot of trouble breathing and I had been diagnosed with type-2 diabetes, and sleep apnea. I also had several surgeries because of these health problems. It seemed like overnight I was hit with these things. I don't think I will go into all of them but I do wonder how much of all these other health issues had to do with my thyroid problem. Also, I had noticed a really dark line on the back of my neck. I researched it and found out it is called Ancanthosis Nigricans. The doctor said it was from the diabetes. I also read that it could mean there was cancer somewhere in my body. During all my surgeries, which included having my Ovaries removed due to a very large cyst, they had never found any cancer, so I just kind of put that out of my head. The doctor didn't seem to be concerned so why should I be.
