I have lost weight though, that is the only symptom that is backwards for me. I went from a size 5-6 to a size 1-2. It's not a huge shift in my weight in terms of numbers but more inches off my hips, waist and thighs (NOT COMPLAINING THOUGH....lol) I don't really know if that's associated with it though. I am cold ALLLL the time, and I was forgetting my medicine all the time and my body started doing weird things. I was waking up in the middle of the night throwing up. My drive went from 10 to 1 (the "SPECIAL" kind of drive), and big time loss of memory. I went on this forum where people were talking about miscarriages they've had because their TSH was low or high, and that they were having trouble conceiving. So it scared me a bit but good to know there are lots of people having many babies with no disruptions. I'm glad I started this thread. Does anyone take special supplements or incorporate special things in their diets? |
I have a lot of the same symptoms and problems as you, memory loss is a big one for me, loss concept of time, Im really spacey, cold all the time, lack of engery, loss of drive, and muscle cramps is another big one that I get and it doesnt affect my weight at all which is really strange since this is one of the biggest symptoms of this illness. Ive actually never experience any weight gain since I havce been diagnosed with hypothyroid and people always think I have hyperthyroid because of that but I dont. I take 150 mcg of sythroid. I also take vitamin B complex to help with energy. Thats what my doctor told me to take and I think it is suppose to help with the memory too(cant exactly remember, lol). I now have high cholestoral too and I was reading last week that hypothyroid can really affect the cholestoral and make the levels higher so you have to watch that.
