Has anyone else noticed that each morning when Dani wakes up, she reaches for a bottle of large sounding pills and pops one before even getting out of bed?

Every day.

Does she have any medical problems? Psych meds?

There are so many meds in the world-why psych meds?
My husband puts my thyroid med in my mouth the minute he gets up every morning because it's more effective to take it an hour before you eat anything. Besides, doing something at exactly the same time every single day helps you not to forget.

They are given vitamins. That's probably all it is. And lots of vitamins are HUGE!

I believe that Dani's meds are for her thyroid. I've heard her talking about having to go to the doc.

Yes they are for her thyroid.

Does the thyroid have anything to do with her bugged out eyes? I wonder if it is over active or under active. Friend of mine's wife just got diagnosed with an under active thyroid and has to take meds.

Nothing wrong with taking morning meds. I take a vitamin, an Allegra and two Glucosamine Chondroitins. Although I probably do need psych meds as well for being unable to tear myself away from these boards even though I consider almost all of the interesting players gone! LOL

Thyroid pills are quite small. If they're large, more likely vitamins as others speculated. I remember her saying she takes vitamins.

My Mom takes something before she gets up, I think it's for osteoporosis (preventative, thank God).

Crazydog- Yes, she probably has a over active thyorid because eyes bugging out is a sign of hyperthyroidism. I speak from experience. Autumn from BB2 had it also.

Gidget- not all thyroid pills are small. It depends on the prescription.

They sound like they are large. When she grabs the bottle they sound like big rocks! Not little tiny pills. The thing that had me curious about it is as soon as her eyes are opened, she reaches over, grabs one and swallows one all without getting out of bed or drinking water.

Sunni -- weird, I am surprised Autumn was over weight then.

There are lots of thyroid disorders. Autumn may have had hypothyroidism, she had a visible goiter on her neck at the time of her eviction. Hypothyroidism would cause some of the symptoms she exhibited in the house, along with a weight gain.

I've had surgery twice to remove lobes of my thyroid, and still have one lobe left, so take it from a three-lobed thyroid person, anything is possible.

Your exactly right Cathie. I hope you never need surgery like that again. :)

Thanks, Sunni--so do I, unless they can find a fourth one in there somewhere!!! :)

Ellenkats- I didn't see your post until now. Having Hyperthyroidism does not always mean you will be skinny. Along with a overactive thyroid you get a huge appetite. I gained weight b/c I was always hungry and eating.

My psych meds are pretty small. elephant

As a person with thyroid disease I have paid very close attention to Danielle when she has talked about it. She is taking synthyroid, which is a replacement hormone, taken for an underactive (hypo) thyroid.

In the past she may have been overactive (hyper) and it MAY have been caused by graves disease which does sometimes cause's increase in the size of eyeballs.

Or she could have just always been Hypo.
When you have thyroid disease's you can fluctuate often from Hypo to Hyper.

for the record, I seem to recall Autumn saying she has Graves disease

Movielover- that is Hyperthyroidism. :)

No Hyperthyroidism is a symptom of Graves disease.

You can be Hyperthyroid without Graves disease. I am.

Hope those are the eyes in the back of every mothers head. ;)
