Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I think what saves me is having a job. When I first joined Thyroid hormones list I was seriously thinking of going on disability I was falling asleep at my desk, making errors on paperwork, not keep appointments, chronic sinus problems, hives, taking lots of time off. Since discovering Armour, supplements and immunology I am getting well again. I have begun deltacortil which I hope will be a big help. I am managing to eat much better that ever. Exercise still eludes me. I am afraid I will have a crash like I used to. I have also developed the habits of laziness and procrastination thanks to undertreated hypothyroid disease for 8 years. What I needed to do for survival at one time is now what I do from habit. Progress not perfection, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Wow....and here I thought it was just me. I use to be a real active, people type person, never stayed at home, especially on the weekends.... for the last 3-4 years I have made a complete turn. Now I hate to go out of the house unless I have to... I am glad to know there are others here that understand.... Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Me toooooooooooo!! I have become very reclusive, not enjoying being around people at all, not wanting to be in crowds, around any kind of loud noise, not wanting to talk to people or family, etc. Deborah Social recluse? I wonder how many of us on this list have become social recluses since being hypo? I am asking because I definitely have and when I saw a specialist on thyroid diseases he said he thought it was a definite symptom and thought that some of the well known recluses like may have been hypo. I hardly go out except when I have to go shopping and accepting a social invitation is just too much like hard work having to dress up etc. Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I have... I'm so bad now that I even turn down invitations. I don't have nice fitting clothes, I dont' have the stamina, I didn't have the 'up' feeling to be good company. I always feared becoming exhausted and having no place to rest... I went on a very special trip in the late summer of 2001 to meet my half sibs for the first time. I carefully explained that I was heat intolerant (going to Florida in August) that I couldn't walk far. That I couldn't eat late in the day due to acid reflux..... After 12 hours in airports and hauling my suitcase I finally get there and of the dozen folks that met me.. not one took a suit case.. they park way the H**l and gone across the parking lot. I'd been up over 20 hours when we got back to my half sisters house and then I had to put my airbed together before I could go to sleep.. didn't get anything to eat until well past noon the next day and that was after we all went to a huge three story mall and walked all over there looking for a cheese slicer for my half brother's wife in Germany. I was there 10 days. Every meal that I was given, one per day, was past 8 or 9 at night. I had to stay up until 3 or 4 in the morning before I dared to lay down. I was given grief because after the first day my feet were both shot and I couldn't do stars any more. ....long story short.. everyone treats me that way. They don't care when I say I'm hurting and I need to sit. Or I'm hot and have to cool off. So why should I risk physical pain due to their lack of consideration? I'd rather stay home. Now that I'm feeling like a whole new person.... those feelings of remaining where I am safe and in control remain... I feel no desire to be under the control of anyone that does not take my concerns into consideration. I was a caregiver for my mother, and I was a caregiver for a family friend that was dying of cancer. It is not that difficult for someone with a heart to extend acts of common courtesy to another while on an afternoon outing if I could do it for years for others. Now that I think about it.. I've gotten that way on the phone too. If I get a call from someone and then put on hold because they decide to switch phones, or go get a pop and then say five minutes later that they don't have time to talk.... why the heck did you call me if you didn't want to talk anyway? if you weren't ready to be on the phone anyway? Don't bug me.. don't waste my time.. it's like that all think that we are non human beings and not worthy of respect.... Oh oh.. sorry... got me going again... crawling under soap box.... that's three or four days in a row this week... I'm getting bad! I'll blame it on not having left the house other than to get mail since December 30th.... Darn good thing that none of you are worried about what I'm wearing and if I've brushed my teeth or hair yet!

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Hi, Lynda, Precisely! Most invitations received here are for things that are happening in the evenings. After a day of dealing with home stuff and client stuff, I typically have no energy left for anything else, so I became more of a recluse than I wanted to be. I do make myself go out now and then, but that would seem to be more of a mental or emotional thing for me, meaning that I need some adult human contact. It goes along with going stir crazy. If I do not get out regularly, then I am mentally antsy even if I am physically exhausted.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Interesting that this topic is mentioned as a hypo symptom?? I also am somewhat of a social recluse...just flat don't like crowds or loud noise (I would make an exception if Bob Seger did one more concert...<grin>). I work 2nd shift and like the fact that I can shop during the weekdays and miss most of the crowds. There's also less people at work on 2nd shift. Never had thought about that being a hypo symptom...
