Guest guest Posted January 19, 2000 Report Share Posted January 19, 2000 , Fatigue is like the NUMBER 1 or at least number 2 symptom of HYPOthyroid -- that and rapid weight gain, despite very little appetite. Also, check your blood sugar levels. Everyone gets that afternoon slump but HYPOs get it very strongly and if our blood sugar level drops -- whoo boy! Watch what you have for lunch. Try to eat more of a hamburger or sandwich meal and avoid pasta, rice, potatoes in large numbers -- also candy or cookie products. When you feel that way have cheese or meat or eggs as a snack. It should help. When I eat a big carbo (pasta for ex..) meal I try to leave it for night because within the hour I will be on the couch " passed out " for 20 minutes or so. It is a guarantee that I will be lethargic and slow while that meal is digesting. Have you noticed any other symptoms besides sleepiness? --kathleen (hypo) In a message dated 1/18/00 11:26:25 PM Eastern Standard Time, klh225@... writes: << Subj: Sleepiness Date: 1/18/00 11:26:25 PM Eastern Standard Time From: klh225@...

The fatigue I had only seems to come on if I push myself too hard, however I do find myself fighting off bouts of sleepiness. Sometimes it's quite strong. I don't have trouble sleeping at night and I would think that would make a difference. Usually it happens late afternoons while I'm still at work. I'm not doing anything differently there. Any suggestions? I've started the supplements advised and I do feel much better. I also suffer from TED but I couldn't find any reference to the beepollen. What is that about?

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2000 Report Share Posted January 19, 2000 You have left me laughing for the first time today. Sleepiness...I found it quite nice since the hyperT left me not being able to breath...and then...deep, slow, breathing at hypo. I liked it since I was alone in a room, typing with my eyes closed (transcription tapes) and then woozied off to home after work to lay down. I still get that way in the afternoon. Do you think it is boredom? I do. That is one reason I am looking for a job where I feel productive...interactive with the environment and people. Laughing is great. I feel so loved that way. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 Dear Kathleen, Re pasta meals in the evening: I recently consulted a nutritionist in my gym, because, although I think I eat pretty well, I am not building as much muscle as I'd like considering all the exercise I do. She advocates eating a balance of lean proteins, carbs, fruits and vegetables for breakfast, lunch, and a.m. and p.m. snacks, but said not to have carbs after the afternoon snack--e.g., eat lean protein and veggies for dinner, and don't snack on carbs at night. I have tried this, and it helped me to lose a few pounds (I am pretty much at my ideal weight, although I'd love to gain more muscle and tighten up my thighs and upper arms). I used to have cookies or graham crackers from the health food store for dessert. Now, if I need something sweet, especially at night, I eat a protein bar (there are three good brands I know of that are low in carbs and sugar and high in protein--lots of them have too much fat, sugar and carbs)--they taste almost like candy, and satisfy a sweet tooth. I used to eat tons of pasta and other starches--now I really think they add extra weight, and try to eat more lean protein. AntJoan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 Ant Joan, Thanks for the info. I am glad you know a lot of this health food information. They say that HYPO people are allergic to wheat... wish it was much easier to give up. --kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 Thank you Siuan, I will give it a try. I hope I am not allergic to corn because sometimes I feel it bloats me. I try not to eat corn the vegetable but still eat it as pop corn or cooked as a bread or chips --- am I crazy to do that? How would I know if I am allergic to it, for sure? I have never had an allergy test. Also, I switched to diet bread (lite) last week and it seems to not bother me as much as the regular bread. And how does one find a bread that doesnt have enriched wheat flour in it -- even my loaf of rye bread has that. I guess I better head to the health food store -- right? --kathleen In a message dated 1/20/00 5:52:37 PM Eastern Standard Time, siuan.mcgahan@... writes: << Subj: Re: Sleepiness Date: 1/20/00 5:52:37 PM Eastern Standard Time From: siuan.mcgahan@...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 I used to experience what you describe, but I then got diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I don't want to imply that you might have that, Fibromyalgia and thyroid disease have a lot of commonalities. My point is just that I THOUGHT I had no trouble sleeping at night, because that's all I wanted to do. Then when they gave me medication to assist me in getting into the proper stages of sleep, I realized what sleeping well meant. If you are not getting into the deeper stages of sleep, your body may not get a chance to recover when you push yourself too hard. Maybe thyroid problems can cause sleep disorders, like fibromyalgia does too. Siuan " katharine " <klh22-@...> wrote: original article:hyperthyroidism/?start=34 99 > Does anyone else get sleepiness?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 Dear Kathleen, Re avoiding wheat: You are right--there are breads in the health food store that do not contain wheat. And some of them taste really good. You just have to read the labels carefully. Also at the health food store you can find cereals and pastas made from amarinth, spelt, and other alternative grains that rarely cause allergies, which contain protein, minerals, fiber, etc. You even can find cookies and cakes that are wheat-free. I once took an allergy test where I was told that I was allergic to corn, so it is possible. An allergist can test your blood by computer, rather than doing the more drawn-out scratch tests. If you are allergic to something, sometimes if you stay away from it for a while you can go back to it eventually. AntJoan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 I also was experiencing fatigue, when I was working(I'm on long holiday with the children at the moment ). I was totally stressed out from having two children at different schools and all the extra running around, work and not being able to do all the house work and washing and ironing. Then when I was diagnosed I stopped trying to do all the house work and allowed myself to be(as well as having an incredibly helpful,supportive husband. I have had a turn around in the last few months with the homeopath and a friend doing energy work on me I have improved out of sight. I can do the housework hang the washing and go out for the rest of the day. I suppose when the children go back to school (this year the same school) and I go back to work , I will see if I still feel as good. I bet I do. May I suggest you let go of pushing yourself, until you have found the right thing to boost your energy . I wish you luck Ali Sleepiness >Does anyone else get sleepiness?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 Kathleen, For me the answer was to just give up bread (not look for an alternative, most breads of any kind will have wheat flour, or some glutenous grain in them.) If you find something that is just made of rice or corn (amaranth and quinoa are supposed to be good too, but health food stores are so expensive) let me know, please. So, I just stick with eating rice, corn or potatoes with my meals. It does suck, when everyone else is eating bread, but I think it helps. About allergy tests, I think most people will test positive to a lot of things on allergy tests. When I was allergy tested it came back that I was allergic to EVERYTHING EXCEPT corn, rice, turkey and yams. Well, that's not all I eat (though I tried that for a while, hard when you are 13 y.o. and your friends live on pizza and ding dongs) I think if something doesn't make you feel good, then you are probably sensitive to it. I always go totally paleolithic when I need to clean my diet up, because I am not sure what is bugging me and then I re-introduce things slowly. I know this all sounds so extreme and tedious, but so are the health problems! Hope you find something that works for you! Siuan > I will give it a try.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2000 Report Share Posted January 21, 2000 Siuan, Thanks for the information. I will try to give this up. But, I guess will power is hard to come by. I know it supposedly helps with the muscle aches and pains of thyroid disease. Does anyone know if Gluten is listed under any other name?

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2000 Report Share Posted February 19, 2000 Cherry... Interesting question (Paxil at night...). I think originally he was to take it in the morning because it was to make him less irritable (a problem with AD) during the day. But it also made him too sleepy; he does not have trouble with sleeping normally. He is physically VERY healthy, so that was not an issue. Anyhow, noon seems to work well and now that more Aricept has been added (in the morning), I think it works better to keep the Rx stuff spread out. But, I will keep that suggestion in mind... thanks... Merril Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 I have been taking Lex in the morning for six weeks, two weeks ago my doseage was raised and I am having a problem in the morning staying awake. I am going to change today taking it around 5:00pm and see if it makes a difference. I always take the Lex on empty stomach and it never bothers me.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Hi, I take mine about 8am everyday. I am on 30mg of Lex. This works for me because i have other meds I need to take at that time as well. However, When first put on Lex I took it at night. And my sleep pattern has never been me getting more than 5-6 hrs a night, I found taking it at night was keeping me up at night. So I switched to mornings and that helped. It takes me 30min to an hour to fall asleep, but, I fall asleep. As everyone says you have to experiment to see what works for you..... Re: Re: sleepiness Out of curiosity.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hopefully by now the tiredness has subsided. I am 43 and been on 10mg of Lex for almost three months now. First 3 weeks were tough! All I could do was sit in the recliner. Now it is much better. Some days I am a bit drowsy, but it beats wanting to die~! My question is this, I find it difficult to get up in the morning. I used to be a runner, but am finding it hard to roll out of bed early enough to go run before work.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 When do you take your Lexapro? I take 10 mg in the morning, and don't get tired 'til the end of the day. I have something to eat and coffee before I take it, and if I feel a bit tired at work, I get up and walk around, that takes care of it for me. By the time I leave work I'm at an energy peak, and I'm ready to go out either for an exercise session at the gym, or a bit of speedwalking. And yes, it's amazing how quickly the thoughts of suicide vanished. I'm very happy on the Lexapro, and hope it is working well for you. Heck, it's getting me through this war... -- NJG ======================================== > > > > I experienced the same thing for the first month or more. It does > subside.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 wow. i just joined the board this morning and yours was the first post i read. it just so happens i am also looking to motivate myself with my running! i started lexapro in may and have had the same problem with sleepiness and sort of a physical ennui. this improved after i switched to taking it at night. feeling more wakeful and physically motivated during the day. with running, i have been forcing myself to continue with my almost daily 30 to 40 minute run. emphasize FORCING! yesterday i downloaded an application for a half marathon on october 2nd and also bookmarked an abbreviated training schedule. this morning, i will extend to 45 - 60 minutes. planning to continue with the 3 mile runs during the weeks with one 4 and then extending on saturday or sunday. perhaps you could point towards some event this fall -- a 5 or 10K? i am hoping by registering for my chosen event, i will feel more motivated. i think i do already! let me know how you are doing. sarah > > > > I experienced the same thing for the first month or more.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 oh i forgot something else! i read somewhere that if you allow yourself to sleep too much this can actually exacerbate feeling tired. i have been sleeping like rip van winkle on this stuff and am now trying to limit to 8 hours. i think i feel more wakeful and alert on the days that i have succeeded with this. also, no question in my mind i feel more wakeful and alert on the days i do run in the morning -- the exercise seems to rev you up. sarah > > > > I experienced the same thing for the first month or more.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 it seems to be so true that the more you sleep the sleepier you get. I also feel a bit better if I'm active during the day since I don't have a job right now. Although having FMS, it does make it hard to keep up an active pace on a daily basis. I find that after 2 days of activity I need the next day to get rested up again. ak --- salix4ever <evermore46@...> wrote: > oh i forgot something else! i read somewhere that > if you allow > yourself to sleep too much this can actually > exacerbate feeling > tired. i have been sleeping like rip van winkle on > this stuff and am > now trying to limit to 8 hours. i think i feel more > wakeful and > alert on the days that i have succeeded with this. > > also, no question in my mind i feel more wakeful and > alert on the > days i do run in the morning -- the exercise seems > to rev you up. > > sarah > > > > > > > > > > I experienced the same thing for the first month > or more.
