So, I've been hospitalized because of a Thyroglossal duct cyst on the base of my neck that's become the size of a billiard ball. They said it will take surgery to get rid of it. Has anyone here had this happen to them? Could there be a link between Crohn's and this abnormality?

Bless your heart! That stinks. I don't know if the two are related or not, but I have found so many things that seem to occur in conjunction with a crohn's flare- or that have an autoimmune component. One of my favs is episcelritis. I basic look like I have pink eye for a few days until the steroid drops kick in.
I hope this is just a bump along the road and you're feeling better soon!

Nice pun. :mademyday:
turns out they don't think it's a Thyroglossal duct cyst, but an abcess instead.
yea, got Mr. Codein & Mr. Zofran by my side.
Ahhhhh.... Better life through chemicals:thumleft:
well, had surgery to get it drained. Now I have a big gaping hole in my neck. -_-'
Surgery was on Saturday and the Microbiology dept. barely got around to putting my "stuff" into the system at 4pm. Looks like I get an extension on my vacation away from my noisy nieces. They say I should be out by wednesday or thursday.
DOUBLE POST! YAY!!!

Glad they were able to take care of it and that you'll be home soon! Aren't random gaping holes in your body the best? 
Took me over a month to heal after my resection and I also had a nice gaping hole for a while. Surely you won't have yours as long. The forum seems to move much slower on the weekends so sorry for the late and limited responses.
