Hi Helen,

well done and considering your low temps and all your other clinical symptoms it looks more and more like you might be hypothyroid... we just need the blood results to match up now - fingers firmly crossed !..... funny how we hope for positive results - but it's the only way to get you back onto the road of recovery. Glad to hear you will see Dr. P. in March. You will be pleasantly surprised. He is a doctor like no other.....

Constant yawning could well be a sign for hypo, seeing that excessive tiredness certainly is one.

Best wishes,

Hello Helene

Yawning a lot is also a sign of fatigued adrenals.

Some months ago this was mentioned to me, I had never heard this before. When my

adrenals were in 'fatigued' state I yawned A Lot, since I have improved adrenal

function with supplements, I don't yawn in the day now.

Thanks for replies. Still really confused by symptoms, so hoping blood tests

will sort things out. For instance I don't have puffy writsts, but keep waking

up with dead hands, one or both - quite often. This morning I woke up with 2

dead hands - loud ringing in the ears and a muzzy headache.

Energy levels are a bit up & down. Once I'm up & about the morning is my best

time - feel quite fatigued in the afternoon & early evening. If I don't go to

bed by 10.00 pm then it's too late I'm wide awake & can't sleep. Often wake up

in the night & can't sleep - I don't yawn then.

Any ideas?

Hello Helene

Your 'dead hands' sounds like something I suffered with years ago - repetitive

strain injury or carpal tunnel syndrome. It's very painful and only ever

bothered me in bed. I had surgery on one but didn't want the other one done. I

later discovered it's a symptom of hypothyroidism and I believe it's due to

inflammation or being overweight causing pressure on the nerve which runs

through the wrist to the hand.

Here's a link to read about the connection:

Hiya Helene,

I just wanted to say that I suffered with the waking up and having " Dead " hands

too, along with bad pins and needles in my hands, and when I went to see my GP

about it, he diagnosed me with Hypothyroidism, my TSH was 28.6!

This was the very first symptom that I had before I was diagnosed with this, boy

did they come thick and fast since then!

I have read that a lot of people suffer from this and that it is a symptom of

hypothyroidism.... (carpal tunnel syndrome) down to all the swelling with fluid

because of the hypothyroidism.

So for me, this went away eventually, when I went on to T3, I may add, as I

didnt get better on levothyroxine ...one of the many!

Also, my GP gave me diuretics to try and ease the fluid in my hands/wrists but

I guess that because It was down to me being hypo, that they made me ill for

some reason, and I really went down hill from then on in.

I am sorry I havent got any answers for you, but I have heard that when you dont

get to bed by 10 pm, and then you wake and cant drift off to sleep again,then

this is down to you adrenals............

Take care

Helen, your temperatures are low and they certainly drop very

low at night. This could be related to low adrenal reserve and skin turning a

pale yellowy colour is a sign too. I would get the 24 hour salivary adrenal

profile test done through Genova Diagnostics. Go to our FILES SECTION accessible

from the Home Page of this forum. On the page that opens, scroll down to

'Discounts on Tests and Supplements' and open the 'Genova Diagnostics' document

there. Follow the instructions for ordering the adrenal saliva test. Once they

send your results to you, post them on the forum and we will help with their

interpretation. You can check the symptoms of hypothyroidism in our web site.

Go to www.tpa-uk.org.uk and click

'Hypothyroidism' in the Menu, and in the drop down Menu, click on 'Symptoms and

Signs' and check your symptoms and signs against the long list there.

Luv - Sheila

Have sent for a private blood test & arranged to see Dr. P in March.

I wondered if exhessive yawning is a thyroid symptom. I yawn constantly &

go drowsy if I get too cold & feel like all energy has been drained out.

Takes ages to get warm up again. Hands & feet go very cold, skin goes a

pale yellowy colour. I yawn a lot when I have a migraine too.
