Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 And small noise levels bother me, or sometimes, just the presence of other human beings in a room with me, lol. And then there's that nagging feeling of " something's going to happen " , and it isn't going to happen.

It was sorta strange for me...about two weeks after starting Armour - and I was only on one grain then...I can remember thinking " I feel calmer " ....and I thought I'd try not to take the anti-anxiety med. And it was fine. I did okay. Now keep in mind I also used to have some bad depression and panic type stuff. Over the first few months of taking Armour, I would swing back and forth on the mental/psychiatric stuff. One moment I'd be fine and honest to goodness, the next moment I could be suicidal. But it eventually just leveled out into mellow almost all of the time. And I do think one has to change their thought patterns a bit. We may have gotten so used to being panicky and depressed that we may have to remind ourselves that our brains are better now...that we do have the resources not to react in the same old ways. And I truly believe that if one has been severely affected by psychiatric symptoms of hypo, that it can take many many months for the brain to heal. while I'm thinking about all this...one other sorta strange thing I have noticed is this. I can cry tears now. For years I never cried much about anything - happy or sad tears. But now I'm just a sentimental mess - but in a good way - and I can cry again. It's a good thing to have real feelings. Cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 noise bothers me a lot. Not as bad as it did before I started the armour. But my daughter would click her hair clip, and I would screech! No one understood that those noises 'hurt' my ears or something. And I often have that nagging feeling you're talking about. So what does this mean?

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I never knew that.... what I always called... " feelings of impending doom " was a hypo sign. My family alway just told me I was nuts... then as I got older they just called it anxiety.... but it's very different than anxiety. Thanks for the info and explaination on that.... it makes me feel less crazy.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I've never been able to handle loud noises. I still can't. I live a fairly quiet life... except when that idiot across the street decides to play the stereo in his car with the huge bass amplifier in the trunk, and the trunk wide open. He plays it so loud that there have been times when my windows shook and I couldn't hear my TV with all the windows closed. Forget the police, by the time they get here he's stopped. Anyway, I got off track... I alway though my noise sensitivity was from growing up with a much older brother who insisted on playing music so loud it would actually hurt me. Man, I'm learning a lot today.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 The other thing is that I can be fine one minute and then one little thing will set me off and I'm so angry that I find myself beating up the phone (at work) or just shaking. Part of hypo too? I find this all so amazing. The real amazing part is that I'm almost 48 and I've KNOWN for years that I had hypo problem.... since I was a teen. If I go through a check list of symptoms I probably only DON'T have one or two symptoms. My temp has always been low and instead of getting hot flashes, I've always gotten cold flashes... where I get so cold that I used to put the oven on and sit in front of it, with my feet in it.... or I have to take a hot shower or bath... or I just have to go snuggle under the down comfortor and elect. blanket. Hypo? I have thought so for years. Also want to way thanks for all your info.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 >>I can be fine one minute and then one little thing will set me off and I'm so angry that I find myself beating up the phone << I think this can be hypo OR more likely female hormones. I say that as even when I was very hypo I never had the temper that I had right after my hyst. When my Estrogen is low I am a WITCH. I don;t even have patience with my cats or the dogs I groom. But hypo never did that to me, just a feeling of helplessness and wishing the day (or my life) was just over. Artistic Grooming Hurricane, West Virginia -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Funny you mentioned migraines. Had one this morning. I hate that. I used to have them when I was younger, then they stopped or lessened for awhile... now their back. I'm wondering if it's also part of a perimenopause thing... after all, I'll be 48 in April... oh how I hate that.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I - knock on wood - haven't had one in about 2 months. Mine were ferocious - and I'm sure partyl hormone related. That is what started them. Then I was getting them from pressure on my neck.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 As Cindi said, it is under the symptoms of impending doom, but where I first saw it described that way was in my old Merck Manual under a major adrenal tumor Pheochromocytoma. I had these feelings most of the time, during the day time only, back before I was diagnosed with hypo. I was probably in the initail stages of Hashi's, something like the way that that article or study said on the Psychiatric Manifestations of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, that Cindi posted the link to. I saw myself there, the way I was in the beginning of it, with these strange feelings that something drastic was going to happen to me. It IS physical, but you feel at the time like you are going insane or that nothing will ever be the same again. Well, they certainly got THAT right!

Betty, the answer is yes. Now i don't mean that you will never struggle at times with going out and not being nervous and such....but overall, this feeling is mostly over for me. The nervousness I might have now when out has more to do with worrying about my energy and stamina level. I do have to be aware of those times when I'm a little " off " and not push myself to do some things when I'm feeling a bit tired...but by and large, I can enjoy most everything without being nervous or anxious and trembly and such. cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
