My Memory

[Guest guest]

HI

Mike

Be

assured that short term memory and brain fog can be caused through a lack of

thyroid hormones - especially the active hormone T3. When I started on Armour

(after being on levothyroxine alone with symptoms getting worse) the first

thing that came back to me was my brain. That was a wonderful day - so be

assured, this will probably happen to you too.

Hi Folks,

Can anyone please re-assure me that my memory will improve assuming I

am diagnosed with either an adrenal or thyroid problem and am given

some form of treatment.

I now have the concentration of a gnat, and things don't seem to stay

in my head any more :-(

All the best.

Hi Mike,

I got to the point where I thought I needed to be assessed for early

onset dementia. My concentration, clarity of thought and memory

were THAT bad! It was a real concern to me.

Like others have said, the improvements can take a while.

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease and Hypothyroidism in early

2007 and I've only really noticed a difference to my clarity of

thought over the last couple of months (discounting a recent, rather

nasty 2 week recovery period after I accidentally ingested gluten).

I can't say exactly what made the difference as I'm taking a number

of different supplements, however I have noticed a distinct

improvement in my cognitive function after I started seeing a

naturopath who introduced a number of herbs into my regime. It

isn't all great yet because my memory still isn't fantastic & I

still have problems with simple arithmetic (this was never a problem

before), but my clarity of thought has improved enormously. Over

the weekend, I was actually able to assist my partner with a

scientific report that he was writing. That would have been unheard

of three months ago because I wouldn't have understood a word of

it! This is despite the fact that I used to help write scientific

reports in my previous workplace!

So, don't lose heart. Lots of us on this forum have experienced

difficulties with memory/concentration/clarity/comprehension. Just

take comfort in knowing that improvements can happen.
