Strange but true

Hi i find this very odd, my automatic wrist watch gained 1 or2 hours a day the last 6 months( before i was diagnosed hyper) since my tt on tuesday it has lost up to 4 hours day now that i am hypo,will let you know when i am stable if the watch is keeping correct time

Isn't that interesting! In what way is it automatic? Is it one that relies on body movement to wind or one that gets radio updates from the local atomic clock?

I would be fascinated to hear how it runs when you are stable. Please do keep us updated

Hi Tatty, sounds like it is motion that winds it up - do you think you have gone from being wildly energetic to being totally chilled out? Well you priobably have having just had a TT. Be very interesting to see what happens when your other half wears it.

Maybe a meter could be made to work like this to tell us whether we are hypo or hyper. Feel sure it would be more accurate than the TSH! Janet.

When I was hyper my watches just never worked - that was from age 13 - and I never even think of wearing one, I got so used to just looking in shops and so on. I have several now...but I never remember to wear them. So I don't know what would happen!

Hi all hubby has just worn watch for 24 hours timing perfect, when i was diagnosed hyper i had no obvious or visible symptoms whatsoever i was diagnosed hyper by my blood tests alone,(and my watch on overtime) after having my tt the only symptom i have at the moment is tiredness my blood pressure and heart rate have gone down,(my watch on undertime) will keep wearing the watch and lets see when i am stable that the watch keeps perfect time fingers crossed will keep you all posted

Hi Linda, so glad the op went well. That is really strange with your watch, I don't wear a watch I just use my mobile phone to keep track of the time. I think I'll try wearing one to see what happens. Wishing you well

this is odd and would never have thought about it, from the age of 13 any watch I had worn would always gain time. Stopped wearing them late teens , real odd!!
