I know this is a very funny question but does anyone suffer with static, over the last few weeks everytime I take my jumper or my coat off I get static and everything sticks to me and I find it really annoying.
Anybody else have this problem or is it just me.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Static
Yes! I have this terribly and have done since I started to have hypo symptoms. I get the worst electric shocks from all sorts of things. Shop doors are a total no-no - I have to tap my nails on the door before I can touch it. Lovely isn't it. All added to my feeling of going completely insane before I was diagnosed! I tried to research a connection but never came up wirh much. You have my sympathies!
Yep, me too. Blackpool illuminations when I take my jumper off!
One time I upset the cat - went to stoke her and zap! She's wary now!
And I touch the car door very gingerly in the summer - perhaps I should get those dangly things from the back bumper?
Meanwhile - different shoes seem to have an effect - rubber soled ones tend to be worse (not earthed?) - I dunno, I think I must be some sort of battery! now I've upped my VitD & Solar powered, it seems to less often but who knows!

This question has reminded me that I used to have this problem, too. I'd completely forgotten! Yes, getting electric shocks from door handles - especially the car and the fridge! - and from the cats. But I only got the hair standing on end when snow was due. I could always tell when it was going to snow...
But I have no idea when it stopped. Or why. Wouldn't surprise me at all if there were a connection with thyroid. There is with most things!

Yes, i used to get this in the winter plus itchy skin, I found it went when I changed to 100% cotton clothing. As long as I wear cotton next to my skin I'm OK. Never connected it with thyroid though.

Yes I do, just thought it was me. Very static and always giving my children electric shocks when I kiss them!
So glad to find this old post - yes, me too, the cats and dogs are sick of my static.
My mum has suffered terrible with static, she has always worn cotton and avoids anything that increases static (has hypothyroidism).
I was recently diagnosed with hypo and finally issued meds, since suffering symptoms around 2 years ago I have started experiencing issues with static particularly now it's winter only thing that's changed is my condition so I'm currently attributing it to this.
I'm glad I found this old topic. Because I suspect hyperthyroidism and I'm looking for symptoms. In addition to other known symptoms, I've been experiencing excessive static electricity these days. I typed it into Google to understand its relevance and found this place. You've always mentioned hypothyroidism. So, has anyone experienced excessive static electricity along with hyperthyroidism?
Progress Seems Very Slow
What research should I take with me?
Weight that doesn't want to shift!
Help!
