I lived with thoughts that I don't control ,phobia ,weakness ,and many many other classic hashimoto symptoms for more than 22 years and in the last few years I experienced psychosis explicitly with voices !!
My TSH was 144 when dx, i felt i was not in my own body, did things that amazed my family and friends, even i never dreamed possible that i would do..Wether it was the TSH or the 3s and 4s, it made me not who i was for about 12 months..Dawn
however , I have been through the same as you describe !
it supposed to stop once you are on thyroid replacement and balanced on proper dose !
this could take a while , for me it took more than 2 yrs , be strong !!!
It's more likely for hypo older females to experience psychotic symptoms !
MIne got up to 186 before my RAI, irritable, brain fog, sometimes I would just stand and stare, couldn't get myself together, slept a lot...It was terrible.
Are you taking thyroid meds now? If so, what medication and how much daily?
Hello,
I am a 39 year old female and had a total thyroidectomy due to thyroid cancer. I don't know if it was because it was such a huge shock to my body because of the loss of hormone, but I felt completely crazy. Not able to concentrate, remember anything and felt I wasn't "me." Major anxiety, paranoia and depression. I was not able to "sort out" normal daily activities and thought processes.
Thanks!
Hello ,
How old are you and what is your gender ??
I had mental impairments ,I had continous thoughts that I couldn't control nor stop nor direct , in addition to repetitive thoughts , I also thought and behaved as an idiot !
what causes you to be hypo ? do you have hashi ?
best wishs ,
felt 'rotten' and cr@ppy, no energy, upset a lot, easily startled, stared a lot at the wall, tired but not sleepy, not very hungry but maintained weight. i swear my hair straightened. the skin around my cuticles peeled easily. too tired to talk. sensitive to low breeze. skittish. a fairly mental time.
My last TSH was 102 and I was feeling really foggy headed, paranoia, hypnotic state like stareing off into space all the time, felt like i was on the verge of losing my mind, like i could just snap into being insane, and still not sure if some of the symptoms i was feeling in bed was hallucinations or not, i thought i was dreaming but i was awake enough to feel it, so i'm not sure about that one.. It was pretty bad..
I do want to say tho, i don't think it has to do with TSH as much as it does Free T3 and Free T4 but mostly the T3.. Mine both were very very low and i think that is the one that causes this not the TSH..
