Avatar m tn I've had memory loss due to vitamin B12 malabsorption, hypothyroidism, and severe stress. Alzheimer's is also called Diabetes Type 3. A book you might want to read is called Brain Grain by David Perlmutter M.D.

Avatar m tn My mother had her thyroid and a benign tumour removed about 6 months ago. She lives 3 hours away from me, so I have seen her a few times but only for short intervals and we regularly speak on the phone. Since her operation I have noticed she is always tired (also due to her heart medication) and that she has become more of a glass half empty type of person. Recently my father had a heart attack (serious but my Dad is a trooper and is now recovering after surgery).

Avatar m tn Natural thyroid hormone production can decrease when you start thyroid replacement so you can experience worsening of symptoms to start with while the thyroid medication builds up in the blood. This usually takes between 4 to 6 weeks.
Avatar f tn Your TPO ab and TG ab results show that Hashi's is the cause for you being hypothyroid. With Hashi's the antibodies attack your thyroid gland until over an extended period the gland is destroyed. As this progresses, the output of natural thyroid hormone is diminished, so Free T4 and Free T3 levels drop, and the pituitary produces more TSH in an effort to stimulate the thyroid gland to produce more.
Avatar m tn After she stopped taking the pain medication (oxicodine) she has memory loss. At first it was little things, but now she does not know what year it is, how old she is, or that she just had surgery. She does have some memory, like she knows who me and my sister are and what she does for work. Another symptom is that she says her body is soar, like she lifted a bunch of weights. We are looking for any type of input/advise. Her doctors have been doing every test and scan.
198727 tn?1352054382 I am a white, 38 year old, 106 lb female. I was diagnosed by GP in September of 2001 with Hypothyroidism. My level then was what they called a 4.27. I was put on 25mcg of levothyroxine and went back for blood work in 6 weeks. Levels had come down but not enough so i was bumped up to 50mcg of levothyroxine. Went back in another 6 weeks and they told me I leveled out and would stay at 50mcg...see me back in 6 months.
Avatar m tn Although you are in age of 60s and most common memory problems come with this elderly age as an Alzheimer’s disease, it is essential other possibilities of memory loss like hormonal imbalance, stress/depression, and vitamin deficiency need to be evaluated thoroughly. In this disease, normal day to day activities have been affected more than memory loss. Therefore, I would suggest consulting a doctor to rule out other possibilities first with the help of doctor. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn I still have the extreme fatigue, joint pains, hair loss, and dry skin symptoms as well. But the memory loss is the worst part of all. I also want to mention that last week I forgot the names of the week. All I knew is that it was the "5th day of the week" but I didn't know the names of the days. Any comments are appreciated!
Avatar f tn t had any problems but since menopause have had high cholesterol, a vitamin D deficiency, joint pain, hair loss, memory loss etc. etc. I was wondering what these results mean and or, if any, other tests I should Should be looking toward other autoimmune problems and should see a Rheumatologist rather than an endocronologist?
Avatar n tn I am 28 yrs old. I have IC. I have been having recent short term memory loss. I do not use drugs nor have I had any trauma. What might be the cause of this. I am not having any other symptoms of anything but not able to remember things of short term unless they are significant. I can't remember things that I even did yesterday. worst part is that I do not have insurance to get to a doctor to have tests ran to receive help that I might need to help find out what I have going on.
Avatar f tn Hi! I am in the process of having more tests done, but it seems my docs don't even know which direction to LOOK. I am a 35yr old female, w/ history of migraine w/ aura & several episodes of "complicated migraine". 2-3 months ago, I had an episode that they can only assume was a complicated migraine (MRI & EEGs were normal). The severity of the episode improved over 24-48hrs...
Avatar f tn He has been taking medication for it. For thr past few months he has not been himself. He has loss of concentration, lack of motivation, can't focus and can't remember anything. I can say something to him and 5 minutes later he will forget what I said. His Dr said it was because his thyroid levels were not right and gave him a higher dose. However when they did his blood work they said his levels were normal.
Avatar f tn am taking abilify 8 years and suffer fom random memory loss, also have experienced uncontrollable shivering . Have major problems with the psychiatrist as they simply state no other patient has experienced those symptoms. The memory loss is fustrating/social embaressing but the 'shivering' is actually very scarey. Also keep waking up at night...4 or 5 am .Am seeking info/contact with other persons who may experience the same. Am 48 years old female.
Avatar m tn We all are a bit different and have varying degrees of memory loss. And as holmes pointed out a disturbance in normal thyroid function can also cause memory issues. There are many factors that can play into memory problems. Mine comes more in the form of I can't remember names, ppl names or names of products, things like that. Trying to remember who sang a song I knew by heart some 15 years ago will set me nuts until I remember it.
1176211 tn?1264038680 It started with short time memory, difficulty repeating and remembering numbers, immediate memory loss, hitting the wrong letters on the keyboard, while thinking out something, there is a nano second when I know the memory is going to dissolve. Some fluctuated in degree of intensity oh and now a calcified mass in my right lower flank that is being repeated to see if there is a change in size.
Avatar f tn I guess my fiance says I have memory loss since I was pregnant. Our daughter is a month now and I guess he says I see and hear things differently then how they happen or do things I don't know I did. He said it has been since I was pregnant not before. Has this happened to anyone?
