Guest guest Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 This is partly where I think part of the brain fog comes from. I mean, just look at the relationship of a swollen agitated thyroid to the Caroltid Arteries on either side of it. See a nasty little parallel there? Everything about this makes sense to me as to why, when there's inflammation in the thyroid, then the lymph nodes in progression, why wouldn't the thinking and attention be affected? I'm going to go looking something up on this subjct. On this one, I'm not even talking about the brain not having enough T3 in it, I'm talking about a literal physical relationship between the blood circulation to the brain with the thyroid.
