Hypothyroidism

Don't pass this video up. Important to listen to.

I'm hypothyroid. I was so overweight in elementary school that when my mom asked to get me tested my doctor refused because he thought I was just eating junk food. Turns out my levels were crazy, he said it was like I had no Thyroid at all. I still weigh less now than I did 6 years ago when I was 10. But my growth was stunted and it was horrible, I got teased and made fun of a lot, I bet they'd take it back if I told them I had a disease.

My two granmothers, my mom, my aunt and my sister has hypothyroidism...

sorry to hear that you went diagnosed for so long

When I was diagnosed my TSH levels were off the charts. My dr. told me he was surprised I was even walking around. It can cause major psychological problems as well as physical sickness if it goes on for too long. My levels are where they're supposed to be but still feel cruddy.

I have Hashimoto's. I think it started as a kid and went undiagnosed until I was 18 - 21. It hasn't been a fun ride. I don't know if it started from birth. But it has ruined my life completely. Health wise and socially. I ended dropping out of High school cause I was so bad. continued below-

Hi My daughter has congenital hypothyroidism. At first we were a mess. Now we are confident that the levoxyl is doing it's job! Hannah is 7 mos anthriving. Her TSH was almost 500 at the NBST. Now it is in range thanks to her ped endocrinologist. Thank you for posting this. You were right on target. Laura
