Hypothyroidism & Memory Loss


Hashimotos Thyroiditis Thyroid Diease Hypothyroidism

Diet ok so far (amazingly!) & have lost 4 kg (about 9lbs), treated myself to some new jeans as the old ones were too big - hurray! Am still managing to keep up the gym regime (2-3 times per week) - think exercise is the only way to do it for thyroid disease sufferers as we have to work a bit harder at the whole weight loss thing, plus it really lifts my mood. I'm aware sometimes of low mood & recognise this as part of hypothyroidism - exercise makes a big difference & is worth dragging yourself out even when you really don't feel like it.
I do feel like my brain's been substituted for a ball of fluff recently & whilst I appreciate a bit of brain fog's also symptomatic of thyroid disease I've been wondering if there's anything I can do about it myself......
