Yes, it is possible. Did they do a nuclear scan? If not you may want to request that. Otherwise, I would seek out a Neuro Surgeon. They work with those kind of issues.

Thyroid maximum cancers in a 26 year previous isn't very hassle-free. Over an 8 month era of stick to-up, this ought to have stepped forward if it have been a malignancy. From the cyber web internet site listed under, "ninety 9% of thyroid nodules are no longer maximum cancers." Small residual non-gentle lymph nodes interior the a million cm variety are regularly got here across interior the better cervical chain at the back of an ear or interior the supraclavicular area. CT scans normally won't p.c.. up small residual nodes interior the a million cm variety in those areas. (I ought to wager on the dimensions in view which you probably did no longer let us know how super the lymph nodes are. in the event that they have been 2 cm or greater, your medical doctors might probable be ordering a biopsy.) in the adventure that your thyroid examine - fantastically the TSH - are all commonly used, the tiredness should not be on the subject remember of hypothyroidism. there are various issues that could reason known fatigue different than hypothyroidism. A thyroid malignancy this small does no longer be sufficiently massive to reason known fatigue. it is what makes inner drugs so troublesome - attempting to sort by way of each and all the obtainable issues and discover the single that explains your concern - - and with any luck helps for a favorable healing intervention. the biggest would be stick to-up and an excellent sort of careful questioning on your healthcare expert's area. each and every so often the final try is the "try of time."

Go for a second or third opinion. It is good to have a few sets of eyes look at a scan. Is there a Mayo Clinic near where you live? They have branches in Florida and Arizona in addition to the original in Minnesota. Don't give up.

I am not being silly: I wish you could see "Dr. House", I am sure he would be able to come up with a diagnosis. Along with his team.
On second thought, why don't you try running your symptoms by the writers and see if they would make a show about you. I am so NOT kidding. Please, you know the show, "House"?
Also, maybe your nerves and stuff are just all just trying to figure out a new way to comunicate.
None of what I just wrote was in any way supposed to be silly, I really was thinking of the show that solves everything.
I do hope you feel better. Get better. OK.

That is why the process of elimination can work so well in the medical field. The CT is doing as it should and ruling out possibilties or those things hidden that it "could" be.
However, there is always room for human error. Hope you are feeling better soon.
