Any information or advice you can give me on this subject would be helpful. Also, I would like to know, how possible is a brain tumor when a child is growth hormone deficient?
Early symptoms of hypokalemia, or potassium deficiency, include dry skin, muscle weakness, fatigue and slow reflexes. If the deficiency develops rapidly, heart problems may result. Left unchecked, a condition known as hypokalemic paralysis may develop, in which the entire body goes stiff. This is a very serious condition requiring immediate medical attention.
Potassium is available in large quantities in many foods.
d also recommend that you get tested for vitamin B12 (deficiency can cause extreme fatigue, plus other symptoms), vitamin D, calcium, magnesium and selenium. Deficiency of any of these vitamins/minerals can cause hypo-like symptoms.
In terms of growth hormone, prematurity and intraventricular hemorrhage are not generally associated with growth hormone deficiency unless there are problems with other hormones also. It is most likely that your granddaughter's small size is due to her former general illness and prematurity. Babies like her need a tremendous amount of nutrition to achieve "catch up" growth, which can sometimes be hard to obtain if she doesn't eat extremely well.
hI, my son now 15 underwent treatment and a bone marrow transplant for Neouroblastoma at the age of four. He's been on growth hormone treatment for 3 years now but with no result. He's only 144cm tall and his endocrinologist says there's no hope because his bones have finished growing and the only suggestion is the bone stretching surgery. Can anyone suggest anything else?
I've been suffering from many symptoms that flare up off and on for several years. After the birth of my daughter 8 months ago they have gotten much worse and more frequent. To name a few: low-grade fever, joint pain, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, reactive hypoglycemia, amenorrhea, lightheadedness, ringing ears, chronic sinus infections. I've had the battery of tests done for thyroid, anemia, RA. They all came back negative with the exception of a Vitamin D deficiency.
Hypothyroid patients are frequently too low in the ranges for Vitamin D, B12 and ferritin. Deficiency can cause symptoms. Low D or low ferritin can adversely affect metabolism of thyroid hormone. D should be about 55-60, B12 in the upper end of its range, and ferritin should be 70 minimum. Both your Vitamin D and ferritin are abysmally low. You could supplement on your own for the D, but to speed up getting your ferritin to optimal, you should ask about iron injections.

As I've mentioned in my previous post, I have the strong feeling that I have a hormone imbalance. For 3 years, I've been overemotional/irritable/nervous, have had light/skipped periods, persistent acne,(I'm 20 and I don't feel like this should be happening), and hot flashes. These problems have gotten progressively worse over the years. The problem is though, that I feel like I have the symptoms of both estrogen dominance and estrogen deficiency.
These hormones are very important for normal functioning of our body and if there is a deficiency of these hormones it is important to take hormone replacement therapy to overcome this deficiency.
Please relax HRT will not damage your brain but is essential at the moment for you.
I am assuming your doctors have run test to rule out all related conditions before treating you with Synthroid for thyroid-stimulating hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism - High TSH - Low F/Ts).
GL,
January is Thyroid Awareness Month, a month when various organizations put together informational efforts to help us all learn more about thyroid disease here in the U.S.
s thyroiditis (autoimmune hypothyroidism). My symptoms of vitamin D deficiency - very poor immune system, bone pain in my hands, mildly weak leg muscles, having to clear my throat constantly due to excess mucus.
I am 27 years old, male and I feel I have hormone problems but despite years of doctors visits and research I cannot figure it out. The problem is I cannot afford the trial and error method of dr.'s tests and visits so maybe someone can give me a bullseye to aim for.
OK here are my symptoms, (hold your breath) I have night sweats that soak the bed sometimes especialy if i go to be with the blanket over me, I get hot easy at night. I dont sleep well.
In addition, zinc deficiency, which is sometimes seen with hypothyroidism can cause issue with the sense of smell.
Hypothyroidism can also affect taste, as can zinc deficiency.
There are imaging studies that can be done to test for abnormalities, but treatment, is, typically, zinc replacement or reduction in dosage of whichever medication might be causing the problem.
Thyroxine does normalise blood tests, but it cannot relieve low thyroid symptoms until is has been converted it to T3, the active hormone. Failure to make this conversion is common. (Selenium, zinc vitamin B6 and other co-factors are required.)
Two alternative prescriptions are available:
T3 (Standard T3 or the much preferred, but more expensive, slow-release T3) used together with T4 long term or by itself for a short term correction.
Hello,
What you seem to be having is called micropenis or microphallus.It can be due to testosterone deficiency, pituitary hormone deficiency, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and growth hormone deficiency. Various investigations required are chromosomal studies,hormone studies like Gonadotropins (LH and FSH), Testosterone and DHT levels,thyroid hormone lvels, ultrasonography and testosterone therapy. Treatment depends on the cause of microphallus.
Vitamin D deficiency is also shown to worsen the severity of asthma symptoms. Both vitamin D, calcium and magnesium all work together. Besides all the other health benefits of these three nutrients, they are essential for good bone health.
* Hypochloridia (low stomach acid). Stomach acid is proven to lower as we age. Not to mention low stomach acid is linked to various autoimmune diseases including Celiac Disease. In the case of hypothyroidism, metabolism slows down stomach acid production.
