Muddled thinking and memory loss

My Thyroids meds are suppose to help me with these issues ....People seem to take the memory loss as a joke and the brain funk is just scary... It feels like i am on slow mo sometimes... Dont know how to explain it to my gp,and to be taken seriously..

Have your thyroid levels been checked lately? Vitamin B12? I know several people on another forum I'm on take Jarrows B12 sublingual tablets (a couple with thyroid issues, one with anaemia issues, one with digestive-system related problem) and find they really help, especially with memory issues.

Went to the GP ..
Blood tests booked and found out i have put on 8 kgs in less than six months ...
damn that ,,

God Murf, that must be an awful feeling!!

Hopefully the bloods will get to the bottom of it for you and get you sorted xx

Sorry to hear that, my OH is going through the same thing, including weight gain. I didn't know about B12 - thanks for the tip.

Oh love, that sounds horrible.

Hope the bloods show up what the problem is and it can be easily sorted

You can ask anout Armour thyroid (it is animal derived) though or naturthyroid. This will help the the T1,3 and 3 not just 4.

Don't feel silly, Its one of the first signs that you are too low! I quite regularly have problems with speech, almost developing a stutter when I am low! It almost feels as if my head is very foggy!

There's a bit of a thyroid geek on a dog forum I'm on - not surprised because she has an unusual form of hypothyroid herself and has/has had several dogs with thyroid issues so done lots of reading up on it. It's something she's mentioned as being fairly common to see alongside hypothyroidism apparently!

It sounds awful Hope you get to the bottom of it.

I have an autoimmune problem called Ord's thyroiditis...

My thyroid has shrunk instead of being enlarged ..
