Struggling with Memory Loss due to Hypothyroidism

Yes brain fog :( and also doing things on autopilot and not remembering doing things scare me a lot. I’ve been trying to take things slowly and just be more mindful when I’m doing mundane tasks and remind myself I’m present. Explain to ur boyfriend that you aren’t purposely selectively not remembering certain things. Hopefully he can understand that you aren’t doing it on purpose. With people who have gotten angry, defensive or upset at me for forgetting or asking a question I’ve asked before. I tell them, “ I’m sorry if I’ve asked this question before, but I’ve been having memory issues so could you tell me again.” Most are understanding!

Yep! Drives me crazy. I'm always thinking to myself "wait, what was I doing?"

I have the same problem

Yes, but ever since I started taking a combo of levothyroxine and vitamin d pills I haven’t had it as bad as I did previously

I did, and sometimes still do. I’ve found through a friends advise that D3 helps, as well as a gluten free diet and cutting out most sugar. There’s a long list of “trigger foods” and the more I can avoid those, the less the brain fog seems to be. But omg is brain fog so aggravating when it happens! It’s like I know what I want to say but it just goes drifting off into the sunset! You’re definitely not alone in that 🤗

I have had bad brain fog too! It gets worse when my thyroid levels are low but I feel like it never completely goes away …

Yes I have horrible memory

I had my thyroid removed in 2015 and I can say I get moments of fog but my memory is good.... that I know of lol

Yes, quite frequently.

This happens to me all the time.

Yes I have felt more and more lately that my brain fog is getting worse especially in casual conversation I will be mid sentence and not remember anything I just said or have been talking about.
