In 2007 he announced his retirement from international cricket and now
he has described how the depression set in during the India trip. "I
was petrified. I started sweating heavily and shaking. My mind was
racing. And I could hear a loud thumping noise - like someone banging
a big drum. I couldn't work it out. Then I realised it was my heart.

Symptoms sound familiar? Personally, I think he was hypothyroid.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Oh yes I can certainly identify with what he describes! I agree, Amit,
thyroid disease could well be the cause. Or possibly another of the
autoimmune disease family like pernicious anaemia or coeliacs.

It would be *really* nice if someone who knows him is reading this - and
actually has a word about the possibility.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

nawww .. he is just living in fear, stuck in his toddler tantrum that his
obsession compulsive disorder and addiction (that presented well and was
socially acceptable) finally went COLD TURKEY on ... and his symptoms that
were buried came up.

This is how Grumpy Old Men come about, they were angry and grumpy all their
lives and presented well for decades, as their physical strength kept their
"I gotta Fox things up" toddler tantrum buried under the defense structure.

Now that they are dying, their strength is ebbing, their HORMONES are
pissing away ... their toddler tantrum comes up .. . their anger, their
depression, their emotional issues come out for all to see and admire.

There is a learning curve to this, but it picks up after awhile.

The toddler tantrum wants to fox around and fox things up as that is how one
survives in a war zone ... this is not good for raising a family or having
relationships or having a life for that matter.

This happens to everyone so afflicted ... across the spectrum of humans with
emotional function. Psychopaths of course have no emotions, and would have
no grumpy old men issues to resolve ... not more then a shark has a bad day
getting a meal.

dont forget brain cancer ... syphallis, any disease eating brain tissue
vectored illness will fit the bill if one is just looking for an external
issue of casuality.
