I thought was doing well during my recent hypo-time. One night the mom of

one of my son's friends called to arrange getting the kids together. We made

all the arrangements to get the boys from camp to their house and then get my

son back home. I told my son he would be swimming at this friend's house. The

next day I got up and got everything ready for camp and swimming later. For

the life of me I couldn't remember whose house he was supposed to go to!! I

remembered all the details except whose mother I spoke to and whose house he

was going to! I had to ask my 10 year old son. He looked at me like I had lost

my mind. (And, believe me- I felt like I had!)

Hi All,

I just started back on my meds a week ago so this is pretty funny reading these.

While I was very hypo, went to pick up pizza for the family and was driving to

the pizza shop and got lost. We go to the same pizza place all of the time. I

was driving down the street and said to my daughter, oh no I don't know where

the pizza shop went, she said Mom you are going the wrong way it is the other

way down the street so I turned around and headed down the other way and still

could not find it, I drove right past it and then got really scared to think I

was on the road.

I think maybe they should put us all together in a little community for hypo

people only. We would understand each other perfectly.

Keep the stupid things coming.

I hope you just took it out, punched it down, and proceeded on with it.

You guys have been cracking me up with all these hypo stories. I was

trying to think of anything I did that was really funny besides not

walking straight and going into a room and forgetting why I was there

(I did that a lot too!) I'm still thinking that I'm still a little

on the hypo side since I can't hardly remember a few weeks ago! I

can think of one time, when I was at work...me and my boss were

chatting about things (I can't really remember what). As we were

talking, he got the key out to open one of the locked file cabinets.

As we talked, he opened it and got what he needed and locked it back

up. He put the key back and he pulled on the cabinet to make sure it

was locked. So it was like I just woke up when I saw him do that and

so I was just talking and walked over to the key, got it out and

handed it to him. He looked at me wierd and was like what are you

doing? And I said, weren't you trying to get into the cabinet? He

started laughing and said, no I already did while we were talking and

just put the key back. We laughed about it for a while. Thank God

he had a good sense of humor. He understood that I was having

issues. I don't know if its as funny written down, but it was funny

at the time. I think I did a lot of crazy things while I was at work

hypo. Anyway thanks for the laughs!

A NEW VIRUS ALERT!!

I just recieved this from a reliable source! There seems to be a new

computer virus called the " Hypo Virus " that even McAfey and Norton

programs can't catch. It's seems to target computers owned by people

with low thyroid hormone levels.

Symptoms of the Hypo Virus are as follows:

1. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice.

2. Causes you to send blank e-mails.

3. Causes you to send an e-mail to the wrong person.

4. Causes you to send an e-mail back to the person who sent it to you.

5. Causes you to forget to attach attachments.

6. Causes you to hit " send " before you finish the e-mail.

7. ......?

8. I forgot what 7 was.

Prolonged exsposure to an affected computer can cause similar symtoms

to appear, such as forgetting the name of your dog or child, calling

your dog by your child's name, locking doors or gates while standing

on the wrong side of same, forgetting what you're saying in the

mid....

hypo day 2

[Guest guest]

Per my previous post, I forgot to mention:

While hyPER, I had hyPo symptoms. I backed the car out of the drive,

went to lock the gate and realized I was on the wrong side of the

fence (Thank God I had the keys in my hand; I forgot to put them back

on key ring.) I also washed the same load of clothes 3 times, since I

kept forgetting to put them in the dryer for a day or 2. I've mis-

placed several things (2 of which I'm sure will show up eventually!)

The next few weeks should be interesting, but at least I know I have

friends. Thanks.

Donna,

My daughter has Grave's disease which is the fancy name for

hyperthyroidism. Lack of concentration is also a symptom of hyperthyroidism

It's actually how we discover her illness. She had been a straight A

student until then (she was in 5th grade) and in 20 weeks her grades dropped

from A's to F's. She wasn't turning in work that she had completed and she

couldn't get her school supplies from her classroom to the van. I

constantly observed her not hearing (or remembering instruction). Her

teacher also said she would give her instructions and then Kaitlyn would

turn around and have no idea what was just said. It was so frustrating not

knowing why all this was happening. Of course the school was determined she

had ADD, and while I know it's a legitimate illness I just knew in my heart

it wasn't her problem....which is when I started dragging her to doctors. I

was so impressed with her pediatrician who immediately said lets test her

thyroid when we explained the problems. The poor child was having heart

palpitations daily and had never told me.

Anyway.... a long explanation to say ...yes.... the symptoms are similar

in some instances!

Blessings Friend!!

When I went hypo I was taking one of my daughters friends home .

First I started driving before she got in the car good . Having her

holler at me made me realize she wasn't in the car . (Didn't drag her

to far lolol not really ) Then as we were coming back home I got lost

on a road that I had drove on for some time needless to say didn't

drive much after that .

Note to self: It's REALLY not good to touch pot on stove with thumb. Once

should have been enough!

scars. -Kelley
