Re: Hypothyroidism and Sleep

We're not allowed to recommend websites or provide links to them on this board.

You just might try some creative Googling.....I found "pathetic list of hypothyroid symptoms" got me one of the most comprehensive lists out there....yet there are many more symptoms that I've read on lists compiled by other hypothyroidism boards.

Since the thyroid interacts with every body system on a cellular level, it makes sense to know that it's "whole-body effect" can cause a myriad of symptoms.....when hypothyroid, it's a general (and sometimes drastic) slowing down of body systems...and the effects of the slowdown.

Re: Hypothyroidism and Sleep

Thank you that's a good list, one I'd seen when I looked the very first time but could never find again when I tried to, so extra thanks.

Through some more searching I've hit on a useful Google term. "Checklist" in combination with thyroid, hypothyroid etc. seems to work well.

On a UK site there is a checklist where it gives not just brittle and dry nails as a symptom but soft nails too. I like this personally because the nails on my hands are soft but my toe nails have become brittle over the past few years. So I have both at the same time!

The symptom lists were a bit overwhelming for me at first but now I find them useful. I've had depression for many years (caused? made worse? by hypothyroidism) and many of the symptoms are the same. But by reading these lists I'm going to point out to my doctor some of the symptoms I have that are not shared by depression.

For example I noticed last autumn my tongue seemed bigger in my mouth, I didn't mention it to anyone, it just seemed odd. Now I know it's a symptom of hypothyroidism and not one I've ever heard of with depression so I will definitely mention it and others to my doctor to make sure she is aware of it.

Re: Hypothyroidism and Sleep

I just started NatureThroid 2 weeks ago and have had the best sleep I've experienced in years. I messed around with synthetics for a year and half because I'm a vegetarian and didn't want to take natural thyroid. I only switched in desperation and noticed a difference within hours of taking my first dose of NatureThroid. I still haven't found my optimal dose, but life is so much better.

I really, really feel badly for you and anyone else going through the insomnia. I was at the breaking point because I was so fatigued and yet, unable to sleep at the same time. I was awake at 3 and 4 am every night.
