My brain doesn't seem to synchronize with my body.
Apart from going into a room and then forgetting what I went in for (which we all do) I have to go one better and can top that.
For example I am in the kitchen and I tell my brain to reach for something in particular like a knife, but in a split second I find my hands reaching for something completely different and then correcting it. Is that considered brain fog.....old age.....thyroid....anxiety or just plain ole dementia setting in
I think that's a pretty standard hypo brain symptom. The brain needs an awful lot of T3. What often happens to me is that when I'm writing something, I think one word and write entirely another!!! They can both be in the same language or I think something in English and type it in French. I think that happens to quite a few people - although I could be wrong, and it could be an entirely other problem - but I often notice that some writes 'that', when they should have said 'than'. That pretty standard.
So, I don't think it's dementia. Old age? Well, what is old age? It's the slowing down of our hormone production, so not surprising if old age produces a few hypo symptoms. But you're not that old yet! 🤣🤣🤣
Yep, it happens to me too… I can be thinking, oh I’ll research that online… flick the page to google and can’t remember what I was going to look at.. I go back and still can’t remember! I do things and don’t remember doing them! I scare myself sometimes… but brain fog is a thing!
Sounds like brain fog to me too. Happens to me when I am having really bad days.
Roger Sperry did some interesting work on the corpus callosum in the brain which allows the two side to communicate. If it is severed it helps stop epilepsy but has some very curious side effects as the two sides can no longer communicate. I wonder if lack of T3 might affect this communication too, leading to things like the knife incident - I think this was one of the sorts of problems experienced by those who’d had it severed. The two sides of their brain sometimes even fought over things like what to wear with one of their hands choosing a different outfit to what they thought they’d decided on and the other hand putting it back into the wardrobe. Nightmare!
I don’t like options as I find it very hard to choose which one, it can paralyse me and I simply give up, or things take forever to do and sometimes if it’s taking things to go away say, I just shove both in and end up with a huge bag of stuff half of which I never use.
I don’t remember these problem before I got ill. I also get word black holes and drop stuff all the time….joy eh?
Oh, the black holes! Nightmare! And that's exactly what it feels like: a big, black hole ready to swallow you up!
Eventually the word would pop up out of the black hole, but now nothing but the hole not even days later. I try not to dwell on it and move on to something else or like you say it might eat you up!
It's funny but sometimes when that happens I'm aware of my brain giving me clues - which sounds weird, I know. Things like: the word you're looking for sounds something like the name of that man that you detest... Or sounds like your favourite food. Or something like that. It's a really weird sensation. OK, I'm crazy, I know. But there's not much I can do about it! 
I think that’s rather helpful - all mine does is go through the alphabet searching that way! Your brain sounds l like it’s very associative in storing memories - mines just a bloomin impenetrable dictionary
Recently, I got a glass from a cupboard, poured some cordial in the bottom, opened the fridge door to get a bottle of chilled water - and found myself looking at a handful of blueberries instead.
On another recent occasion I got my dogs ready to go for a walk, at last minute went to the toilet, and my door key vanished.
Yesterday, I drove to the supermarket, couldn’t find my purse. Rang my son to ask if he could see it in the house. Then found it in my car after all.
As for my mobile phone ……. I must ask whoever is in the house 10 times a week to ring my number so I can locate it.
To be honest, I know my issue is extreme stress and mental preoccupation with a serious problem. It is unlike the feeling of brain-fog which I have experienced when undermedicated - and still do when very tired.
But from any angle, it’s no fun.
I am sorry you are suffering.
Keys - oh god keys - such a clever device even the Romans had them same lock mechanisms even, but if you loose the darn things…..🥺 Once I had to go up to my allotment in the pitch dark in winter, get in the site via the key pad gate that makes a terrible racket when you open it, walk in complete blackness for what seemed like an eternity to my plot, get down the bottom of it and into the greenhouse then fumble for them in my boots. It felt like everyone sinister in the world might be lurking in the fruit bushes ready to cosh me or worse, I was practically running to get out of there, it was really creepy. There are over 200 plots at the site so it’s massive. I hope I never ever lock myself out again! But at least I could get in by hiding a set up there.
oh that made laugh!
I actually have 3 ‘spare’ keys - one of which is in hiding, so currently there are 2 ‘active’ spares.
The thing is, they disappear then show up in odd places. Last week’s fell out of the washing machine days later. The time before that I spotted one on the driveway of my daughter’s flat as I was reversing off it.
Before that I found one tucked inside the crevice of one of the dog donut beds.
I realise now that they are all possessed by Roman spirits trying to take back control - I live yards from Watling Street. Must think about moving ……
Oh I've done better than that. Had breakfast and a brew, puts pots in washing up bowl and gone for shower. About an hour later goes to find phone..yes you guessed it, sat there in the washing up bowl with my pots.How it still worked after an hour submerged under 6 inches of water I don't know 🤦🏼♀️
oh that’s funny - 😂. But ‘normal’.
My hearing aids survived a cycle in the washing machine in the pocket of a shirt😬
A good friend was in the shower once and kept wondering why she didn’t feel ‘right’. Wasn’t till she was wrapping herself in a towel that she realised she was still wearing her bra …..😂
