I get sinus infections all the time now...I mean I have them constantly.
Another thing (unrealated to thyroid) I'm just noticing now more and more is that when I type, or write...I'm putting the letters backwards all the time...like my brain waves are crisscrossed! Does anyone relate to havng this at all? I know I should be starting a new discussion on this subjecct...perhaps I will... but I am experiencing serioius defects mentally and neurologiclly as this is happening without fail each and every time I type now. I have to correct myself constantly, it takes forever to get something posted anymore.I leave letters out, or put them backwards. Sorry for getting off topic here...Thanks for listening everyone.
Blessings to all of you.:)
ps...
In my last post, I mentioned about having problems with spelling and typing, etc...However, I believe this problem is more related to brain fog, and some truly serious side effects of a medication I've been taking for a long time called 'alprazolam'. I was just reading the side effects, and 'loss of coordination' is mentioned there also, which is another probem I'm experiencing... It's quite scary. I'm tapering off immediatley, and pray these issues improve over time. Thanks. I hope this helps anyone else who may be taking this medication...to be aware.
*** I think if you take it once in a while, it's ok, but just not on a long time basis.Take care.
