I have a very large goiter that has started 10 - 15 years ago.  All thyroid
tests come back normal and actually I seem to feel ok. However, I have a
tremor of the head that has been diagnosed as sposmadic torticollis.  A
nerve/muscle in the neck that controls this movement is on the same side as
this huge goiter.  The neurologist thinks the goiter wouldn't have anything
to do with it, but it seems strange to me that they are both on the same
side.  Also, he cannot order an MRI on the goiter/neck area because he can
only order tests for the head, etc., for neurological problems.  He cannot
order tests for soft tissue areas.

Anyway, has anyone experienced symptoms such as this caused by a goiter that
has become very large?
