Forgetting People’s Names

This happens to the best of us, but is it a reoccurring problem in your life? Stress and fatigue can cause memory lapses, but if you find yourself frequently forgetting people’s names, or even the items on your grocery list, you could be suffering from low levels of thyroid hormone. This can happen because without adequate amounts of thyroid hormone everything just slows down.

Other symptoms of hypothyroid include feeling cold, low libido, and food not tasting as good as it used to. People often don’t associate these feelings together or think that they are much of a problem, but if you feel that you live in a fog it may be time to visit your doctor.
