My wife forgetting: Diagnosed with MCI

Other than a few eye drops, my wife is off all medications and doing a lot better. Going to the gym for 1-2 hours helps her (and me) more than anything a MD could prescribe.

Just found another neighbor on thyroid medication, same side effects as I had. She is not doing well. Same situation as my MD. If you don't take the thyroid you will die. I have been off thyroid about a month and doing great. Blood test tomorrow.
Stay on top of issues, gym. Prayers

I have been going through another drug side effects. Thyroid medication, same side effects as the blood thinner Xarelto. I was ready for a nursing home because I was losing my memory and dizzy, blurred vision and double vision, couldn't drive. I have been off the thyroid for about 3 weeks and getting my life back. Still blurred vision but its better. MD including thyroid specialist are not listening. It was the thyroid and I have contacted FDA, doesn't look like they are investigating the issue. Just found out my neighbor is having issues with same medication. Eight prescriptions from October until July. Higher the dosage the worse the side effects.
Prayers
Don't give up.
