Re: Clumsiness in hypothyroidism?

I might have answered my question actually, but still would like to hear others

levels with physical performance (muscle strength and balance capability "

I am sure the thyroid problems don't help at all.

Actually Dawn, I really do think that clumsiness is associatd with hypot - for

about 6 years I was extremely clumsy, (2001 - 2007, diagnosed & treated 2005), I

would go to walk past a desk when working and walk right into it. I could not

understand why I had suddenly become so clumsy it was alien to me but put it

down to age. I was permanently covered in bruises, mainly the top of my leg

where I walked into things.

This clumsyness returned big time on the new armour, it seems to hopefully have

gone again since I upped the dose to 4g a day but thought I had broken a toe

last Sunday when I walked into a fan in my kitchen and knocked it flying -

thankfully I was fine as I was expecting my bil and his partner for dinner.

I do hope that you are feeling much better now but this could well be the same

thing and will disappear once you are totally at optimum with your meds.

Mine was falling downstairs. I never seemed to be able to put my foot in the right place on the stairs. Either not on far enough or too far. Ended with me falling down stairs, and breaking my toe.

Fortunately because of the way I landed and my bulk I didn't break anything else.

Hi

Isn't it more to do with your adrenals not being able to stabilise you. My

adrenals are not working too good and I keep falling over. When I did the stand

up tests for that with Dr P my sister sat there laughing ~I was all over the

place. 4 weeks on treatment and I'm still very wobbly.

Hi Lilian,

.....yer see, I'm wonderig if it's the low vit B12 and folate that triggers the

thyroid to fail?

but is it the gland itself or the periferal conversion....

more input needed here.....

Hi Bob,

I had a thyroid problem (or it was diagnosed) a long time before the B12 deficiency. However, I was told at some time that I had antibodies which meant that in the future I could get pernicious anaemia, so although I didn't actually have it I was primed to.

OOO thanks and ouch, stairs, breaks. Last break I got was getting out of bed a

couple of years ago with a numb foot and I crunched it when I stood up lol.

So we are unbalanced then, I won't try any stairs I have a ground floor flat

thank God . I do have to have someone to steady me going down steps I admit

it, I feel so darn old. I thought I was about high enough on armour now. Most of

the hypo type of symptoms seemed to go and I was left with other more specific

things like the breathlessness which is always with me and the gurgling in the

trachea. The joint pains were better and stuff like that.

I have a feeling may have a problem finding which is my optimum dose.

Won't really know till the D vit is optimum I suppose as that is one of the

listings of things that impair thyroid function.

Thanks so much for your experiences of accident proneness.

Bob u sounded very very prone to hurt urself blimey hon.

lotsa luv
