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..
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.
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 ,
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!
Are you taking thyroid meds now? If so, what medication and how much daily?
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.
It's more likely for hypo older females to experience psychotic symptoms !
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 !!!
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
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 !!
