Starting to get a little worried I could have a thyroid nodule growing toward the side of my neck. I've had this lump-in-the-throat feeling on and off for years, but it seems more noticeable lately. I also get a slight tickling sensation in that area at times. Fortunately, most thyroid nodules are benign. The last thing I need is to be dealing with any additional or worsening health issues. I've totally had enough!

Going to give it a little time before reaching out to Rhonda, hoping it will back off. I'm able to eat and breathe, and that's what's most important. It's actually more noticeable when I'm lying down, especially on the side it's on. I don't feel or see anything on the outside and have read that it’s possible not to, and that the only way they can usually tell is through an ultrasound. I'm just hoping it backs off, whatever it really is. It doesn't make sense for allergies or acid reflux, and even Doctronic thinks it's most likely a nodule. It's common with Hashimoto's.

The night before last, my mask shifted, and I was woken up a few times by whistling and felt a little tired yesterday. Last night I slept okay. I had a feeling I didn't sleep long enough, though, and it was just in time too, because we had a little storm. But after that, I napped for a while. All this dry weather while I was on days was really pissing me off, lol. I knew this would happen too. We are getting to that time of year, however, where the risk of hurricanes may go up, but we don't have as many rainy days.

At some point today, I'm going to do another aerobics workout because I still want to build my stamina and endurance back up and work muscles I don't normally work on the glider. 

I looked at how often various things woke me up during August, and I was woken up about a third of the month. It would be nice to get that under a quarter, like I got my AHI score under 5.
