Not to throw a spanner in the conversation, or to change the subject but

would like to mention that what got in the way of me checking out my hypo

status

until last month, was the fact that I am always HOT. I thought I could not

possibly have hypo issues as the cold is always so heavily emphasised as a

major symptom.

Cathy,

I don't know what " tired " means to you but here's what it means to me:

tired means that I have to dry my hair in 4 or 5 sessions because I can't hold

my arms up for more than about two minutes

tired means that I have take a rest while I'm having a shower

tired means that I have to take a rest while I am shopping for just a few items

I'm sure you get the picture... 4 miles? I can't even take a slow walk around

the block, yes I've tried and I've persevered thinking it would get better. It

didn't.

Re: Can hypo folks climb mountains??

I know all of us are different and our hypo affects us in different

ways and some can do more than others, but I find that the more I

exercise the better I feel and the more energy I have. I mean maybe

some with hypo are really tired and can only do a few minutes at a

time, but I'm sure that most would notice when they exercise that

they feel better (mentally & physicially) and have more energy to

live life!

Me neither. I've had MS since I was 16. A few in the mini-epidemic at our high

school died, young, from it. I'm convinced it is something hidden in plain

sight... Like Lyme or nanobacteria or low selenium or...

....

> more exercise, trying to build up gradually maybe.

I still smoke, so I can't add new lungs to the list, would be such a waste..

Lynda

one new set of intestines please.

maybe one new pair of lungs just in case they are right about smoking.

hair that is the original color.

new facial skin.

new knees (not hypo related - but heck, as long as we're asking)

OK while we are asking, I want some new teeth! Then if there's anything left

over I want a new back.

same thing to them at funerals

That's how I feel, too - I had lots of energy before, could go

shopping, walk, etc. Now I can't even drag myself thru the grocery

store - even leaning on the cart for support.....I get halfway thru

& feel like I have to sit down.

And when I do anything the least bit strenuous, I get so hot &

sweaty - it's disgusting. Sweat running down my face just because I

have my hands in hot water to do dishes? My hair gets all wet &

sweaty! Is that just the hypothyroid doing that or is it adrenals,

too?
