Since increasing T3 I am always humming some tune in my head.
I don't even have to hear the tune...a word can trigger it. It is raining here today and I am perpetually humming 'It Never Rains in Southern California', lol.
It isn't a problem...I kind of like it. But I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this?
I was exactly the same last night. Watched a programme and a child happened to sing 'Hello darkness my old friend' one of my fave Simon & Garfunkel songs. It hasn't left my head yet and I think I even dreamed about it. Thank goodness it wasn't the tellytubbies theme tune. 😂
I should have guessed by your username, lol...
Haha yes, I used to belong to choir but the Thyroid put paid to the voice unfortunately. Much better on T3 though.
When my head is buzzing - even if it's just a few lines from a song, it can get a little frustrating in the heat and when it's light outside at 4am. I found out last night that some soluble electrolyte powder (Potassium and Magnesium) does the trick - a very helpful discovery!!
I suppose we lose a lot more electrolytes in this weather especially if your cells are working more efficiently with the t3 - just drink more too or it can cause kidney problems. Coconut water (expensive) is also good apparently and full of electrolytes.
Interesting, thank you. I have been digging a new garden...maybe all that sweating has thrown my electrolytes off...
It's the rototiller effect 
All the time. All the time. All the time.
And if it's not a song I actually here, I just make one up. Lol.
Me too. Any old rubbish mostly to my pooch 😄
I usually have a song running through my mind - don't even notice it much of the time, like background music. Had that long before there was any question of thyroid problems!
Maybe it just means your meds are doing their job and your brain now has the energy to sing to you!
That's kind of what I was theorizing about brain energy...
My brain has sung stuff in my head for as long as I can remember. Any conversation can spark off a song related to a single word in that convo! And I'm permanently pooped so I don't think with me it's to do with my thyroid hormones...
What I do find weird though is that much as I love music, I often can't bear the music being on. I literally can't listen to it and have to switch if off. I've wondered if that was anything to do with my thyroid.
Haven't discovered the off switch for the racket in my head though haha.
Once after I had a test where they injected dye into my spinal column, I could faintly hear what sounded like a radio station. That was completely different than these songs in the head. I checked everywhere in the house and there was no radio on. I even turned the radio on to see if I could match the station, but no luck. I think my dental fillings and the dye somehow turned into a receiver, lol. Okay, now you know I am crazy 
Oh no I have definitely heard of that happening!
One day it was a hymn, then switched to "We are the Diddy Men" (if you're old enough to remember Ken Dodd's children's show?) Gives a whole new meaning to the saying "From the sublime to the ridiculous"! 
Well thanks for that. I've now got the Diddy Men running through my head! lol
Fortunately I have never heard the Diddy Men song! And thankfully songs that get stuck haven't been all that annoying
Just for you! youtube.com/watch?v=JGor7Zy...
And this one WILL be annoying lol
I didn't dare listen to this one! Have been humming classical music all day, but couldn't tell you what half of the tunes are.
Uh-oh...I was laying the hammock and faintly from a neighbor's garage I heard, 'Oh, oh, oh it's magic, you know-oh-oh, never believe it's not so...' Here we go again, lol!
And even better, more of the lyrics are lazy day in bed, music in my head...
Dear God, NO!
and you wonder why we British can be strange, hahahaha. We were brought up on this!
You asked for it, lol!!!
I used to think Knotty Ash was a mythical place, invented for the show, until I was driving in that area and saw the road sign!
Yes! My family are from Liverpool, and my auntie insists Ken Dodd nicked the idea for the Diddy Men from some little people that used to live in Knotty Ash.
I have graves and I get random tunes going through my head. This morning it was abba now I have the diddy men 😂😂😂
Since I started T3 I have had all sorts of songs running through my head. I find myself singing along to everything- out of tune and loudly. It's as if the T3 has turned on a switch- I appreciate everything such as nature & melodies/ lyrics so much more. My T3 is now about 65% through the range from a very pathetic 2% at one point.
'Music was my first love, and it will be my last...' I too have this wonderful ability to recall the soundtrack to my life by the mention of a single word and I wouldn't want to be without it! 🎶🎵🎶🤗
I guess some people are really annoyed by it. Maybe if it were just short irritating loops it might be a problem, but otherwise I'm with you...I enjoy it!
I think this is my favourite of all earworms. Yes - it repeats and repeats, but somehow I still enjoy it!
There she stands among the daffodils she sells
Dressed in blue and yellow
I wonder why I fell so much in love with her
Daisy Lady, I wonder maybe if
Some lazy day you’ll stray away with me
Oowee! You drive me crazy! There she stands among the daffodils she sells
Dressed in blue and yellow
I wonder why I fell so much in love with her
Daisy Lady, I wonder maybe if
Some lazy day you’ll stray away with me
Oowee! You drive me crazy!

Very nice! But I have enough problems without catching UK earworms, lol.
Thanks for this post, i thought I was nuts because I get earworms. There is one I remember when I had the flu and stayed home from school and my mom let me listen to the radio (in the afternoon). There was one composer who wrote a symphony who's main theme rhymed with: "Little bird, in the tree tops". Anyone remember this? It was on the BBC in the afternoon a million years ago. It was very beautiful but I have never been able to track it down. It goes something like this: C'C'C, AAGC' (Where C' is top C). Any takers?
Was it this one?
