Ok so I’ve been sitting at my desk best part of the day and managed to freak myself out doing research
For best part of this week I’ve felt really horrible - headache (that gets worse when I bend over), my eyes hurt, sensitivity to light, sound and smells, strange sensations on my arms when something touches them, awful pains in all parts of my body (even my toes), fatigue, and generally feeling unwell. I did wonder at first if it was anything to do with chest infection that I had a few weeks back, but this feels different.
I (as you do) had a quick look online this morning about various aches and pains, and I have made an appointment to see my doctor this afternoon because I’ve not experienced this before. I’m concerned now that this could be a thyroid issue - I never really worried about it before as my energy was fine, I felt OK - but maybe my hair loss is linked to an underactive thyroid issue? Further more, after more research I’m worried that Keto has caused this?
My memory has progressively gotten worse over the summer (if I’m perfectly honest, it’s embarrassingly cr*p), although I have ‘intentionally’ gained weight too so I can’t be too worried about that, but I still have.
Is there anyone on here who has experienced this? Are these symptoms common of someone with thyroid problems?
I just want to be prepared when I go to the doctors - I know I’m going to have to explain I’m Keto, I expect I’ll be told to stop immediately, but I’m a bit worried now. I won’t know much until I go see my doctor I guess, but I do feel so rough today
