Mommy,
sorry to hear about you feeling so bad!! I went through something similar a couple of months ago. Strange enough, I was doing a parasite cleanse. I had the feeling of food being stuck in my throat. It really is a scary feeling!! I ate soft food for a while.
The things that helped me was drinking celtic salt in a glass of warm water upon rising. Rebounding on a trampoline, very good for alot of things including your thyroid. Dry brushing before showers or baths.
celtic salt baths are good for you too!!
These things will give you relief<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I hope you feel better soon!!!
