What is the thyroid gland?
The
thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped endocrine gland that is
normally located in the lower front of the neck. The thyroid’s
job is to make thyroid hormones, which are secreted into the
blood and then carried to every tissue in the body. Thyroid
hormone helps the body use energy, stay warm and keep the
brain, heart, muscles, and other organs working as they should.
What are the symptoms of a goiter?
The
term “goiter” simply refers to the abnormal enlargement of
the thyroid gland. It is important to know that the presence of
a goiter does not necessarily mean that the thyroid gland is
malfunctioning. A goiter can occur in a gland that is producing
too much hormone (hyperthyroidism), too little hormone
(hypothyroidism), or the correct amount of hormone
(euthyroidism). A goiter indicates there is a condition present
which is causing the thyroid to grow abnormally.

What causes a goiter?
One
of the most common causes of goiter formation worldwide is
iodine deficiency. While this was a very frequent cause of
goiter in the United States many years ago, it is no longer
commonly observed. The primary activity of the thyroid gland is
to concentrate iodine from the blood to make thyroid hormone.
The gland cannot make enough thyroid hormone if it does not
have enough iodine. Therefore, with iodine deficiency the
individual will become hypothyroid. Consequently, the pituitary
gland in the brain senses the thyroid hormone level is too low
and sends a signal to the thyroid. This signal is called
thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). As the name implies, this
hormone stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormone and
to grow in size. This abnormal growth in size produces what is
termed a “goiter.” Thus, iodine deficiency is one cause of
goiter development. Wherever iodine deficiency is common,
goiter will be common. It remains a common cause of goiters in
other parts of the world.
Hashimoto’s
thyroiditis is a more common cause of goiter formation in the
US. This is an autoimmune condition in which there is
destruction of the thyroid gland by one’s own immune system.
As the gland becomes more damaged, it is less able to make
adequate supplies of thyroid hormone. The pituitary gland
senses a low thyroid hormone level and secretes more TSH to
stimulate the thyroid. This stimulation causes the thyroid to
grow, which may produce a goiter.
Another
common cause of goiter is Graves’ disease. In this case,
one’s immune system produces a protein, called thyroid
stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI). As with TSH, TSI stimulates
the thyroid gland to enlarge producing a goiter. However, TSI
also stimulates the thyroid to make too much thyroid hormone
(causes hyperthyroidism). Since the pituitary senses too much
thyroid hormone, it stops secreting TSH. In spite of this the
thyroid gland continues to grow and make thyroid hormone.
Therefore, Graves’ disease produces a goiter and
hyperthyroidism.
Multinodular
goiters are another common cause of goiters. Individuals with
this disorder have one or more nodules within the gland which
cause thyroid enlargement. This is often detected as a nodular
feeling gland on physical exam. Patients can present with a
single large nodule or with multiple smaller nodules in the
gland when first detected (see Thyroid
Nodule brochure).
Thus, in early stages of a multinodular goiter with many small
nodules, the overall size of the thyroid may not be enlarged
yet. Unlike the other goiters discussed, the cause of this type
of goiter is not well understood.
In
addition to the common causes of goiter, there are many other
less common causes. Some of these are due to genetic defects,
others are related to injury or infections in the thyroid, and
some are due to tumors (both cancerous and benign tumors).
How do you diagnose a Goiter?
As
mentioned earlier, the diagnosis of a goiter is usually made at
the time of a physical examination when an enlargement of the
thyroid is found. However, the presence of a goiter indicates
there is an abnormality of the thyroid gland. Therefore, it is
important to determine the cause of the goiter. As a first
step, you will likely have thyroid function tests to determine
if your thyroid is underactive or overactive (see Thyroid
Function Tests brochure).
Any subsequent tests performed will be dependent upon the
results of the thyroid function tests.
If
the thyroid is diffusely enlarged and you are hyperthyroid,
your doctor will likely proceed with tests to help diagnose
Graves’ Disease (see Graves’
Disease brochure).
If you are hypothyroid, you may have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
(see Hypothyroidism
brochure)
and you may get additional blood tests to confirm this
diagnosis. Other tests used to help diagnose the cause of the
goiter may include a radioactive iodine scan, thyroid
ultrasound, or a fine needle aspiration biopsy (see Thyroid
Nodule brochure).
How is a goiter treated?
The
treatment will depend upon the cause of the goiter. If the
goiter was due to a deficiency of iodine in the diet (not
common in the United States), you will be given iodine
supplementation given in preparations to take by mouth. This
will lead to a reduction in the size of the goiter, but often
the goiter will not completely resolve.
If
the goiter is due to Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, and you are
hypothyroid, you will be given thyroid hormone supplement as a
daily pill. This treatment will restore your thyroid hormone
levels to normal, but does not usually make the goiter go
completely away. While the goiter may get smaller, sometimes
there is too much scar tissue in the gland to allow it to get
much smaller. However, thyroid hormone treatment will usually
prevent it from getting any larger. Although appropriate in
some individuals, surgery is usually not routine treatment of
thyroiditis.
If
the goiter is due to hyperthyroidism, the treatment will depend
upon the cause of the hyperthyroidism (see Hyperthyroidism
and Graves’
disease brochures).
For some causes of hyperthyroidism, the treatment may lead to a
disappearance of the goiter. For example, treatment of Graves’
disease with radioactive iodine usually leads to a decrease or
disappearance of the goiter.
Many
goiters, such as the multinodular goiter, are associated with
normal levels of thyroid hormone in the blood. These goiters
usually do not require any specific treatment after the
appropriate diagnosis is made. If no specific treatment is
suggested, you may be warned that you are at risk for becoming
hypothyroid or hyperthyroid in the future. However, if there
are problems associated with the size of the thyroid per se,
such as the goiter getting so large that it constricts the
airway, your doctor may suggest that the goiter be treated by
surgical removal.
Whatever
the cause, it is important to have regular (annual) monitoring
when diagnosed with a goiter.

Yesterday
in the early evening, I had a heart to heart talk with someone who I
have spoken with several times over the telephone, who works in the
psych department at my health insurance place, and who got me my
original appointment in Vero Beach, at the Behavior Health Clinic.
Last Thursday, I had a very bad reaction to a medicine that the
psychiatrist there who is my doctor now at that place; prescribed for
me. It took painstaking agony and indescribable anxiety om my part
for five days, after nearly dying of a bad reaction to this
anti-psychotic drug he wants me to take, despite my telling him that
I have serious bad reactions, and cannot take antidepressant meds or
pain meds; as both of these have something about their particular
chemistry, that totally wipes out my body and brain, causing
unfathomable hellish reactions. But he is the doctor and he insisted.
I will never again be bullied into taking this. My tongue swelled,
the room grew bright, it was difficult to breathe, and I began to
experience not only a beyond horrible panic attack, but numerous
other symptoms that were beyond unpleasant. When my case manager at
my insurance company called last evening, I leveled with her and
probably told her way too much about my past and how it all fits
together. I told her my problem is a thyroid dysfunction brought
about by electromagnetic activity used by machines that were all
built and put together in an experimental way, and were used to
attempt to cure me of my physical illness that I contracted at a
print shop in early 1977, that later on had become to be known as
AIDS. I am the only person ever totally cured of AIDS. But the side
effect of this, is a damaged thyroid gland. I tried to keep the story
as down to Earth as humanly possible, but I know now it was a mistake
to tell her so much. The insurance company records all that is said s
well, for 'quality assurance', you all have heard that line
yourselves, while calling either your utility company, credit card
comp[any, or your own health system, I would bet dimes to donuts you
have. Whatever happens, I have done all that I can to fight this
problem that I have had ever since Joann and Bill Marney put mer onto
their friend who knew hot shot Steve Marcus, owner of the great Mars
Graphics, in westville, New Jersey. My immediate supervisor there,
Mister Steven John McGinty, always wanted to know why I had such a
fear of women, and I was blocking all the hell that went down all
around me in Atlantic City, back then. When I contacted him in the
autumn of 1996 while I resided at the Somerdale home at Yale and
Harvard Avenue intersection; several miles east of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, and Camden, New Jersey; a mile or so east of the Robin
Hill Apartment complex; his wife or some Milituforce enemy, told him
not to contact me ever again. I cannot swear to that as that would be
legal hearsay. But he was so interested in knowing about it and
indeed had wondered ever since the days we worked together at the
Mars print shop in 1977. He was driving a truck and said he was
taking it out of state and would be back the following week. When he
got back, he would get in touch and to quote him, he said, “we will
get together at a diner or something, as I want to hear all about
your problem”. I can still hear him saying this to me over my
telephone on that bright sunny autumn 1996 day, in my new home that
turned into a nightmare from the day I moved into it, and just kept
getting worse. As I said, he never got back, and I tried twice to get
in touch, and was given the run around treatment. I knew what had
happened, the same thing that always happens when I try to tell
anything connected with the great Sarah Krasse Krassle, such as when
I told Dave Roth for th every first time at Medport Diner in the
spring time in 1986, and then all hell broke loose around us with the
local police.

What happened to
me over the past 13000 years is not allowed to be told. The great
HALLS WALL simply won't permit it. I am most likely going to be
sacrificed, because the medical community will not allow this
information out, and even are part of a distant future connected plot
and scheme, that only a few billionaires are onto out of the entire
private non governmental sector of the population; are allowed to
know about, such as Trump; explaining how he knew all along about my
MEDICAL TAPE sent to the Copyright Office, back in early 1984 or
maybe the end of 1983, as my memory has been effected to not knowing
whether it was sent before or after, my train trip on the Amtrak
Train, down to Orlando, Florida, when I went to visit my old coworker
and Chief Recording Engineer, at the RPL Sound Recording Studio Labs
in Camden, New Jersey, after he moved down to Florida and opened up a
road side small restaurant; Mister Howard Solomon.
I think I knew
and started putting a lot of this together in the summer and autumn
back in 2009, up in Hammonton, New Jersey, while kidnapped under
Stockholm Syndrome, by the King family, Dawn-Marie and Ann. Things
that happened with their relatives down at the harbor, funny funny
funny Mister Microsoft prompt, no, the HARBOR, oh they do it whether
I capitalize or not, adding in a prompt option for hitting the ENTER
KEY, to make it harborFIELDS, such as in this example. No detention
centers, and no high schools out of state, but plenty of recurring
nightmares, towel seepage, and hyperspace equation. Then I come down
to Florida with dirty hands, at least in the opinion of distant
cousin David and his great rapper pal Darius Evans, to view them on
YOUTUBE, go there, and click the search area and type, Deezy Slim. He
has really cool stuff up there, if you like that type of music, and
most do. Who am I but some dumb ass has been old-fogey who needs to
be taken out and turned into bright cherry red bloody washcloths, all
surgically removed over at Chill-Moe Tom Reale's Cornwall Avenue
place, now sold to the great ACMUA, or Atlantic City Municipal
Utilities Authority. Let me type in on Google and try to get to their
website, and I am blocked somehow. WOW, does it get a whole lot
mother fuckiGN better than this, because if so, I'd greatly Donna
Gaines and Angela Central Park appreciate it, if you'd spare the
beautiful new gorgeous building up there, but tell me instead, just
where on the dam net I can go where blogs get better than
this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah; old outdated pitiful fucking me; huh Adam
Central Pier Mailmen? No such word anymore accepted, like
old-fogey. The world has really gone to mother fucking
hell in a hand basket at light speed squared, Sarah and Albert, and
anyone else; huh CUZZ CLEAN and CUZZ SUPERWEALTHY???????????????????

Not
boring, without hesitation nor concern for fibbing, I can honestly
say with a knowing that out of 8 billion that live or have lived
here, none have shared my wild ride through hyperspace, with
awareness. Fun is replaced with 'intense'.
And my blog is hacked continually.

a little philosophy for you is as follows:
At
the risk of sounding negative, the only thing one may be truly sure
of, is that you cannot be sure of anything. Sorry to sound so dam
negative, beautiful Twinbay of E.H. Township, NJUSAESMWG, YO!!!
There
