Hi Everybody, I am going through a rough patch at the moment and I dont know why. The only change I have made is to cut out carbs and sugars and for some reason I am falling asleep all the time and I have dark and baggy eyes. That is a dead givaway for me and lets me know something is wrong but that is not why I am posting.
Have you noticed when you feel rough, things go wrong. Today I was getting a pair of trousers from the wardrobe , the coat hangers decided to fight each other and would not un hook from the rail. Cleaning the hall the Henry got tangled up and wanted to go another way than it was suppose to. The washing I have just taken down from the line , the basket fell over and the clouthes went all over the place. At dinner time I dropped some fruit on the floor and hit my head on the corner of the work top.. I suppose it was just one of those days but I seem to get them when I feel rough.. regards John C

I think it was a mistake to cut out all the carbs and sugar. You need them to convert. You've probably lowered your T3, and that's what's making you feel bad.
I opened a drink the other day it went everywhere and it was blackcurrant, made a right mess of the kitchen, spent ages cleaning it up.
Then my shopping bag handle decided to snap, and to top that off the self scanner machine had broke at Asda, and the check out queues were very long that day (weekend, hot and start of football).
I was already agitated from the previous mishaps that I just wanted to burst into tears at Asda.
I had to say to myself (in my head, otherwise I might have the men in the white coats arrive) what’s the big deal, nobody has hurt themselves or died, snap out of it.
I promised my friend I would bake a cake for her, (I’ve done it before loads of times), first time it tasted awful, remembered forget an ingredient, second attempt put caster sugar in, instead of golden, 3rd attempt tasted worse than the first, and didn’t know what the hell i did wrong, so, she had a shop brought cake.
I told her the story, I was embarrassed and devastated as it was not like me.
She found it highly amusing because it wasn’t like me to be dizzy.
The more she highlighted that, the more I got anxious. She didn’t mean to, but, I know I’m not right at the moment.
Perhaps to someone that is feeling ‘normal’ it’s stupid, but, when your feeling like a bag of rusty old nails and like a zombie it’s a really bit deal.
I also seem to be very impatient as well at the moment, it seems when I’m in a queue to pay for items, the person in front of me and the assistant wants to have a lengthy conversation, and then spend 10 minutes looking for their purse or wallet.
I just want to pay for my shopping and go.
I’m 100% positive those feelings are all down to how you feel at the moment (thyroid) normally things can be brushed off.
It’s the thyroid, well that’s what I blame it on, and as I’m not on the correct dosage yet, it takes time, this is what I tell myself, I will be back to my old self soon.
Yep, just know you're not alone in this. Whenever my thyroid has been "off", I have found myself stating that "I don't feel like myself". It's the best way I've found to describe my hypothyroid dissonance. When my thyroid is at the proper level and function... I don't feel dissonance.
Quite honestly Peanuts31, someone standing at a checkout wanting to having a lengthy conversation with the cashier and then spending 10 minutes looking for a purse would have had a gobfull from me too! That is just plain rudeness and shouldn't be tolerated under any circumstances!
Just a thought... I once complained like that to the checkout assistant and she said that for some of the old ladies the supermarket is their only point of contact with another human being! One lady apparently was going in there 2or3 times a day. So other people have their problems too!
I fully understand that, but when you're in a hurry because you've got to get somewhere else, for instance pick a child up from school, it becomes unreasonable. If they want to have a conversation with someone, let them pick somebody who's working on the shop-floor, not the cashier!
I discovered that grain based carbs cause a spike in my blood sugar so I still eat carbs but I get my carbs from vegetables. I can eat a couple of baby new potatoes without spiking my blood but jacket potatoes are out. I eat a lot of vegetables that grow above ground rather than things that come fr9m below the ground - parsnips really spike my blood. So I still eat carbs but I choose my carbs carefully. Same with sugar. I’m selective about where I get mine from.
I also know those coat hanger days that go from bad to worse. Much worse if I’m tired.
