Low thyroid can do that. I turned quiet too, for our senior yearbook we
voted for quietest student and I won. Not a real honor. I got good grades,
but it just seemed like the brain didn't connect properly to the tongue and
unless I was talking to someone in a one on one situation, I just couldn't
respond quick enough to be part of a conversation. Probably learned more
because it forced me to be a listener. Fortunately, that's improved a lot
with thyroid treatment.

Thin is OK if not carried to the extreme, Ally McBeal show thin isn't
healthy. Hypothyroidism is known by some to cause anorexia and may be why

I don't think soy is safe at all unless fermented. Isn't milk allergy really
a problem caused because processing takes the natural enzyme milk has in it
to help you digest it called lactase and that's the real problem. I've never
bought enzymes but believe you can take this and there is no more problem
with drinking milk, real milk not the poison from soy. There have been
people on the list talking about aluminum poisoning and I believe soy is high
in this.
I felt that way too when I first had

It would slow a hyperthyroid person's thyroid down. In spite of the fact
doctors worry too much thyroid will make us hyperthyroid, we wouldn't want to
stay there long and generally ask for our meds to be reduced.
I don't know in what dosages, but I do know once upon a time they used iodine
to calm the overactive thyroid down. A normal amount of iodine is necessary
for thyroid function and then an excessive amount actually slows down
hyperthyroidism (but it can be toxic, don't try that without some research,
doctors don't use simple remedies like that generally. I think the soy does
more than just slow the thyroid down, it may damage it.
I would stay away from soy as much as possible, they already put it in
everything they can.
One site that tells the evils of soy -

One of the points
"Soy contains Phytin, which takes essential minerals such as iron, zinc,
magnesium etc. out of the body before they can be absorbed. Also soy
contains Trypsin inhibitors block this vital anti cancer enzyme, anti
fibrosis enzyme. (14)."
