I am concerned that my memory is going fast although I did have a friend, also taking thyroid tablets who said she feels really ratty when her thyroid is playing up and levels are not right. I am wondering if that's why I am now having trouble. I have had to ring people up to see if I had made plans to go out with them and having trouble remembering and my thyroid problems have increased excessive weight gain for me. I seem to have put on 12 kgs in about 12 weeks, excess weight around bra line and upper arms. What's worse too is I have only ever looked like that once before after the birth of my younger son 33 years ago when they reduced my thryroid rapidly. All of a sudden my deodorant stopped working, I was breast feeding and had piled all the exra weight on. I am going to Drs today to see if there are any results from antibody tests. I have been watching what I eat, as per usual and have just seen the dietician who confims many of my choices are good, I do have to minimise my protein intake though, mainly meat. I have more trouble limiting portion control there than I do with sweet things. Can anyone shed light on the memory loss. Usually I don't miss much but it's a worry.
