Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 The remote always winds up in my pocketbook..... Amber Theme Day I just have to throw one in....Last week I was trying to call my husband who was at home....Now, I have had the same phone number for 7 years....I had to look up the number in the phone book because I couldn't remember it. It is frustrating....BUT, at least I had my shoes on! hee heeKat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 You know, until you folks confessed some of this stuff, I just thought I was going into early alzheimers (seriously!) at 37. I can be talking right to someone, and lose the thread in mid sentence. I can look at something, want to act on it, and turn around and forget everything I just thought of doing. I wrote an email to an ebay buyer of mine this morning and it was really important, two minutes later, I couldn't remember who I had written to. Ugh! But I do have my slippers on -Lynn Amber Sewell wrote: > The remote always winds up in my pocketbook..... > > Amber > > * Theme Day > > I just have to throw one in.... > > Last week I was trying to call my husband who was at home....Now, I > have had the same phone number for 7 years....I had to look up the > number in the phone book because I couldn't remember it.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I'm never telling of one of my guffaws again!!!! hehehehehehe It was in the 40's today, no need to put on shoes to get the mail.... didn't go anywhere else... didn't need to put on shoes..... heheheheheh As the weather gets a bit nicer I'm getting back into walking though... I need to dig out my pedometer so that it will be ready. I know exactly where it is... it fell off my alarm clock, I put it there as a 'safe place' and knocked it off one day... it's behind the night stand, on the floor... I just have to move stuff out of the way to get at it..... although I might just try to shove a broom handle back there and try to slide it out.... Anybody up for a walking club? We can keep each other motivated to walk a bit each day..... Emails.... oh boy howdy..... I now back up emails twice a day so that if I have a computer crash I'm safe to within a few hours..... I have to reference earlier posts to keep track of stuff..... I wonder how many folks have been diagnosed with mental disorders and ignored that are in need of thyroid hormones and would be alright.... that scares me.... thinking about stuff like that... the institutions where folks were sent in years passed when no one could figure out what was wrong so would just lock them out of sight...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 A friend of mine who is a psychotherapist told me that near to where I live and a few years ago, a doc ran some blood tests in a mental health hospital for women. In women over 50 something like 60% -70% (I can't remember the exact figure) had undiagnosed thyroid disease. That doesn't surprise me; I might have ended up in there if left unmedicated much longer! It isn't just sad, its bl**dy criminal. I love the idea of the walking club! --- topper2@... wrote: > I'm never telling of one of my guffaws again!!!! > > hehehehehehe > > It was in the 40's today, no need to put on shoes to > get the mail.... > didn't go anywhere else... didn't need to put on > shoes..... heheheheheh > > As the weather gets a bit nicer I'm getting back > into walking though...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 That doesn't surprise me... my aunt who is bipolar has borderline thyroid problems & adrenal problems... I've given her info on it but I don't know why she hasn't checked it out as she knows that's what it is. She does take a natural thyroid supplement but it isn't the same as a thyroid med. It's interesting that you point that out... it is also common with Alzheimer's Disease to really be undiagnosed hypo. I remember reading how a few people had their thyroid tested and their symptoms didn't go away with meds but lightened severely... so I wonder if the dosage just needed to be adjusted. *sigh* Incidentally, Alzheimer's wasn't diagnosed until the 30s or 40s I think... maybe 50s. That's when all the commercial food and soy started... it saddens me to think of what we are doing to our poor world. Do you know that men are starting to become sterile due to the urine of women using birthcontrol (estrogen) finding it's way into drinking water supplies.... terrible. Re: Duuhhhh..... A friend of mine who is a psychotherapist told me thatnear to where I live and a few years ago, a doc ransome blood tests in a mental health hospital forwomen.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 My mum has Alzheimers. My parents are country peopls. They have never eaten convenience food, have always grown all their own veg, kept chickens for eggs, honey for bees, have fruit trees etc. My mum was treated for hypothyroidism for a while but treatment stopped when her results showed normal (!!!!). She is diabetic, has had several heart attacks and episodes of MRSA infection (caught in hospital) and is so frail that no doc would treat her even if they bothered to test her. I read somewhere that lack of T3 can lead eventually to dementia. Certainly adding in T3 to my regime has brought my mind back to life. I wonder whether it would have prevented my mum's decline? --- Teague wrote: > That doesn't surprise me... my aunt who is bipolar > has borderline thyroid problems & adrenal > problems...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 If you can have her doc run some more tests it my help prevent further problems by the addition of hormones. My husband's mom was treated for hypo years ago and they stopped it, now she's hypo again. My grandmother is hyper and had the same thing happen... docs just don't seem to understand that when your results normalize it's because the meds are working lol.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I agree there... no matter where the intricacies came from they sure are a marvel... how it all works together yet facets of it being able to compensate to a degree when stuff is off.... just amazes me whenever I think about it....
