oks this is really stressing i hope someone can provide me with some help?

Question

Ok's well I have a problem with my thyroid, it works pretty fast, so that makes it hard for me to gain weight etc .I have noticed that my memory has been very poor for a while, I think my memory has started to get poor within the 2years time. I was researching information not long and found out that thyroid-stimulating hormone causes memory loss, I don’t understand a lot about this problem, but I’m really worried about my memory, and I want to know what can be done. Please I hope someone out there knows about this problem and can help me out, because it’s really stressing me out. Thanks

Answer 1

Hyperthyroidism can be treated with medication and with proper treatment your memory can get better. You need to get to the bottom as to why you have hyperthyroidism to get proper treatment. It can be caused from a few different things such as Grave's Disease or thyroid nodules and so on. Both of which can be treated whether it be medication or radiation treatment.

Answer 2

I know a guy who has thyroid problems and he has trouble with his memory even when he's not on his medication. I would ask my doctor. There could be a possibility he could put you on another medication or give you one to counteract the effects, if the medicine is what's causing it. You could also try a health food store for memory enhacing supplements and/or try some good old fashioned brain excercise. Your brain is like a muscle, the more you excercise it the stronger it gets. Maybe you could read something educatioal or do puzzles on a daily basis. Just a thought, but I would definitely consult the doc first.

Answer 3

Experiencing problems with our memory can be frustrating and frightening for anyone, at any age. However, we give "memory problems" much more attention as we grow older. The normal aging process makes recalling specific names, numbers or directions a bit more difficult. It is normal that "pulling" these items out of our memory bank takes more time, and maybe a few cues such as lists, etc. This type of memory "loss" is called Age-Associated Memory Impairment. We all will have it; we all will cope with it.

Memory difficulties become more serious when they impair our ability to function independently, or place us (or our loved ones) in danger. Significant memory impairment includes the inability to recognize familiar faces or places, difficulty using notes or lists to "jog one’s memory", as well as difficulty with making decisions or following through with basic commitments required for daily living. Memory problems have no relationship to education level, socioeconomic status, and gender or ethnic background. Memory problems do lead to other mental health care issues if not addressed carefully and compassionately.

When profound memory loss occurs, it is NOT a normal part of the aging process and requires assessment by a medical professional. Many types of significant memory loss can be corrected or reversed. Such contributing factors may include, but are not limited to: An over or under-active thyroid, hormonal imbalance, vitamin deficiency, diabetes, clinical depression, increased stress, dehydration, malnutrition, change in medications, too many medications, substance or alcohol abuse, head injury, etc.

If you think you are suffering from memory problems, or you have a friend or relative who is suffering from memory loss, you can discuss treatment options by calling the Stressline at [phone].
