thyroid in young children

He has been diagnosed already with ADHD and is on meds for it (i hate that). My question is - do children have thyroid problems that young or is it usually later in life? It may sound like a stupid question to some people but I really don't know and I haven't had time to research it. I didn't really even consider that he could have a problem at such a young age. If this is possible, I want him tested immediately.

How old is your son? Are these baby teeth or adult teeth? I wouldn't pull any adult teeth unless absolutely necessary. Yes, the wisdom teeth could potentially fill in that space but there are complications with that. As the wisdom teeth come in, they don't move sideways into the space but rather, they tilt in and lean in sideways which causes problems with the jaw bone.

s recommended to check for your childrens each 6 months ,it can start in childrens as young as 2 years old , and even younger .

when all of my sisters and I had our cancer/precancer diagnoses I decided to get ultrasounds on both of my children's thyroids. My son was (and still is) 100% nodule free - my daughter, however, had multiple nodules so she had a thyroidectomy - result was *multiple* precancerous nodules. She was 16 when she had her surgery. Today she is nearly 22 and is the mother of the most beautiful 1-year old ever. Kids are resilient!

They are kind of like Occupational Therapists that see the child weekly in all different environments, they use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy type methods for children, but they also are great support to the family aswell, acting as advocates and can refer to other people if necessary. My step son has mental health issues and we got the support above through the Paediatrician.

Hey ladies i hav a question an it may be a silly one but im a first time mom so im just curious if you been told the same thing... They have told me NOT to carry young children now that im pregnant... Anyone else???

underative thyroid run in the family. in fact i have and had unteated underactive thyroid when i was pregnant with him. not by choice, but because my ob at the time wouldnt check me for it. any way he has been have development delays, especially in his speech, and behavioral problems. any information would be helpful, i dont know what to do.

I originally brought him to the doctor since he was feeling pretty bad, alternated between warm clammy skin to being very cold, including a wide range of other symptoms, including depression. Since autoimmune thyroid runs in the family, checking the thyroid is where we started.

(in children) In adults, this type of thing would show up as an Axis II personality disorder. In children, particularly 4 (very young for this kind of diagnosis, ADD/ADHD as well - and I would hold off on the meds until a second or third opinion is obtained..cheaper than treatment I'm sure...) ALSO - (I have personal experience in this - my 5 yr old girl had wild tantrums, and I was very worried,, and took her to different drs...

We have a 13 yr. old neighbor girl who comes to visit when our granddaughters are here. I couldn't help but notice that her neck was puffy. In between where the lines are in her neck, it is puffy. Does she have cancer or something or a thyroid problem?

I am very concerned with all of the blogs I have read about losing control of myself post surgery. I have 2 young children and don't want to fall in to a deep depression. The Doc says no but these blogs say otherwise, any uplifting advise you can give, will be wonderful!

But I really admire young mums! It also means by the time they have all grown up you will still be young!

Monitoring the dosage is critical to proper lithium treatment. I have been on 300mg in the a.m., and 600mg in the p.m. and my liver and thyroid are both fine. I also take (in treatment of bipolar mania) 60mg Geodon 2x's daily, 1mg Ativan 3X a day, and .25mg Xanax 3X daily (as needed). Since I increased my Geodon to twice daily, I feel like a new person. The lithium is the most benign of my drugs. It's the Geodon I hate.

Sorry to hear about your children. Generally people do not develop myopia until they are into adulthood. Myopia in young children is an indication of some underlying health condition. I know your opthamologist said there is nothing wrong. I would get a second or third opinion - including one from a natural/alternative practioner. Myopia in very young children is generally caused by inability of the eye muscles to focus for reasons that are not well understood if understood at all.

You have to admit that it is a little wierd that all 3 children have thyroid problems at such an early age! Please share any advice you can give me.

I looked up treatment of children after the above post. It appears that there are centers that specialize in treatment of children with liver disease. It isn't recommended that children under 3. Triple treatment isn't approved for treatment in children. The current treatment approved for children is Peg and ribavirin. There is lots to consider before treating someone so young. I personally would not unless it was life threatening. Remember people can live with hepatitis C.

t always accurate because the cancer can be in the thyroid tissue not the nodule. In my friends case they removed the thyroid first and checked it after, but we didn't want to have the surgery unless is was absolutely necessary.

When her meds are not high enough and her thyroid hormones are unbalanced (high t4 with low t3) I have seen the air hunger in her (especially when trying to exercise. The excessive yawning is also a way for the body to get air and is seen sometimes. Are the girls having any other symptoms? (constipation, moodiness, weight gain, excessivly hungry, forgetfulness,cries without knowing why, heart palpatations, issues w/body temp., issues with sleep, muscle or joint pain etc...

Hello, I recently discovered friable, breaking asbestos pipe insulation in my basement. We are going to have air quality testing done, and have considered dust wipe testing as well. I am extremely concerned for my family's health, including very young children, and would really appreciate any help you could provide! We stored the a/c units in the basement uncovered for at least one year, and covered for 2 additional years, using them in the summertime.
