A good post greygoose. All this information must be kept at the forefront of public knowledge.

[greygoose in reply to nightingale-56]

Do you think they'll take any notice?

[nightingale-56 in reply to greygoose]

Probably not, but we can but try! We seem to be 'very trying' to most medical staff.

[Lizzy1606]

Thanks for posting ,very interesting info.

[faith63]

It took quite awhile to get that you meant to be funny. I actually thought that maybe you might have Dyslexia and how funny it was that you posted about it!!! I am really brain dead.

[greygoose in reply to faith63]

Oh, but I am dyslexic! Among other things. I just wrote a long reply then clicked on the wrong button and lost the lot!! Arrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhh lol Never mind.

[Marz]

Me too ! I have a good friend who is dyslexic and her two children. One went to a special boarding school for dyslexic children and ended up taking drugs. Her life has been one continuous cycle of alcohol and drug abuse. A very beautiful person. I had often mentioned thyroid to my friend - and it was only at her most recent treatment centre that it was tested. She is now on T4. I need an update - thanks for the reminder....

[greygoose in reply to Marz]

You're welcome! Reading all the posts on here, I think an awful lot of hypos are dyslexic. Sometimes one Doesn't even notice that one's made a mistake. But I do spend an awful lot of time correcting my posts because of my dyslexia.

[Marz in reply to greygoose]

...you would never know you were dyslexic . I find some interesting words appear due to typos and often want to leave them

[humanbean in reply to greygoose]

If you use Firefox you can get a dictionary add-on that highlights the words it doesn't recognise, and if you right click on the misspelled word it offers alternatives. If words are missing from the dictionary you can add them. I would hate to be without my Firefox dictionary because it cuts down on so many of my own mistakes.

Most browsers support that now - even the latest version of Internet Explorer!

Looking at the first piece on the link I think I may have found the explanation for the 'growing pains' that I was diagnosed with as a child.... Still have them

[greygoose in reply to Marz]

Oh yes! Growing pains! I'd forgotten about them. It always seemed weird to me that it would hurt to grow. And why didn't everybody have them? Why just me? I think being hypo must have caused me to develope my inquiring mind, always wanting to know why...

[Marz in reply to greygoose]

I also had a mysterious illness when I was about 8 - polio was around and the girl next door had rheumatic fever. Fortunately I didn't have either but was in bed. Previously Mum and I went out for the day on a coach trip from the village. A street photographer snapped us and when we went back to collect - Mum said I didn't look well in the picture I felt ghastly but didn't want to say anything and spoil her rare day off away from the farm. Still have the photo - long skinny legs and a puffy face - sound familiar !! - yes I do look awful !

[Treepie]

Er? Have I seen this before recently or am I confused?

[greygoose in reply to Treepie]

Well, I haven't seen it before, so I Don't know. First time I've ever seen dyslexia cited as a hypo symptom. And I'm so happy!!! lol

[Jazzw in reply to greygoose]

LOL, Greygoose...

healthunlocked.com/thyroidu... - read my reply to you when you posted the link to sicktodeath the first time, the one after Clutter's....

[greygoose in reply to Jazzw]

Oh, yes! Oh, my goodness! My memory is worse than I thought!!!

My apologies, Treepie. At least your brain is still working! lol

Still, it's good to be reminded! Ha ha! (Feel a fool now!)

[Treepie]

Recently learned my 6yr g.daughter is dyslexic ,hope not hypo!

[greygoose in reply to Treepie]

Well, I dare say there are other causes. But I'm happy my dyslexia is because I'm hypo and not because I'm stupid!

[Coastwalker]

Also I read somewhere thyroid is linked with Asperger's, ADHD and Tourettes.

On one forum site I spotted two tourette's persons talking about how better their ticks were since supplementing with T3, (I believe they both had Hypothyroidism, but don't quote me.)

[greygoose in reply to Coastwalker]

Well, I knew there was a link between ADHD and thyroid but it's interesting about Asperger's... And Tourettes? Well, I never! The more we learn, the more it would seem that the thyroid is responsible for everything! Directly or indirectly.

[Spareribs in reply to greygoose]

dare I say that when unwell the thyroid failsafe will kick in to stop all adverse activity?

- usually waiting for springtime & a decent meal - conversely thyroid slowing down activity slows everything including nutrient absorption & allsorts ensue - hence poulet et l'œuf! J x

[greygoose in reply to Spareribs]

Totally agree, Sparerib. What would we do without our thyroids! Oh. Wait a minute... we know what we do without our thyroids! Get sick!!!

[Coastwalker in reply to greygoose]

I also read that experts are connecting Child Obesity to Thyroid, but then that could apply to adults too.

[greygoose in reply to Coastwalker]

Well, yes. And so obvious I'm surprised it needs to be said! When will they reaslie taht we are the real 'experts', and listen to us?!?

[Coastwalker]

Probably when desiccated pigs fly.

[greygoose in reply to Coastwalker]

lol

[greygoose]

There are good days and there are bad days. And on a bad day it takes me ages to write a post because I keep having to go back and correct my dyslexic words!

[5858]

Add me to the list. I was hiding it for years thinking I was a real idiot. Got tested when I was like 40. When I spell something right I think it looks wrong. I am always asking my husband how to spell things must drive him nuts LOL to bad almost married 30 years......Thanks for the post greygoose so many things in common.xoxo Susita

[greygoose in reply to 5858]

lol I use Google search. Just type in a word and it will tell you if it's wrong. Some days I'm ok, but some days, no matter how I move the letters around, it still looks wrong. Sooooo Dr Google - doctor in so many ways. Much quicker than looking in a dictionary, and I live with my Spanish dog. His spelling is worse than mine!

[5858]

LOL sometimes I spell it so wrong google has trouble with me. LOL Have a great day xo Susita

[greygoose in reply to 5858]

[Barb1949]

I have always been very good at spelling, right from primary school..................but, I have noticed lately that my keyboard appears to be getting dyslexic!

[greygoose in reply to Barb1949]

Maybe it needs an increase in meds. lol

[Barb1949 in reply to greygoose]

lol

[Spareribs]

I always see very enquiring minds... I wonder....

[greygoose in reply to Spareribs]
