597354 tn?1227197932 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.

Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn I know children are curious but is this normal for children at his age to talk about this? We only have 2 bdrms so that is why they share a room. We are both in shock and don't know what to do or how to handle it. Any advice would be great!
Avatar n tn AA can be treated with topical steroids or topical irritants but in young children these treatments are usually not practical.
Avatar f tn Thyroid disease doesn't discriminate by age. While older people are often the ones who develop it, children are not immune. Thyroid disease tends to "run in families", which is a term used when a genetic connection is suspected, but unproven. Have your daughter's FREE T3, FREE T4 and TSH tested to see where her thyroid hormones are at. You might also want to have thyroid antibodies, TSI (thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin) tested to see if she has Graves'.
1618776 tn?1337347868 Hi. Hyperthyrodism does not affect your fertility. Your hyperthyroidism has been diagnosed early on. Your menstrual cycle won't be a heavy one but that doesn't mean you're infertile. It just means your lining is thin. With Neo-mercazole your thyroid function will be brought down. Keep up with your check-up's to monitor your thyroid levels. And please, please, please...you are so young to be sexually active...use protection and look after your body.
Avatar f tn also, does someone HAVE to have RAI? If so, can they stay in the hospital for the days needed since I have 3 young children and being away from them at home wont work..
Avatar n tn It is VERY important that children be treated with thyroid hormone if there is an issue, as BRAIN and body development are dependent on proper thyroid levels in young children! It is always better to be safe then sorry! She is dependent on the adults in her life to make sure all is well or unwell, and then to get her appropriate treatment if needed. As care givers, we must trust our instincts and not second guess ourselves.

Avatar n tn I have a friend, who is in her early twenties, who recently confided to me about something she remembers doing while babysitting two young children when she was only 11 years old, and I'm wondering if she really should feel guilty about it. She told me how one night, she was left in the care of her neighbour's two young kids. One was about 5 or 6 and the other was just a baby.
Avatar f tn I have to have my thyroid removed on Febuary 20th. Im getting really scared, I have two young children. Im scared that it may have spread and just keep having scary thoughts. If anyone can help me that would be awesome. Thanks!
Avatar f tn Im 22 and on my 3rd love. I m happily married and my husband fathered all my children. Your not to young. She is just to old and judgemental!
Avatar f tn 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!
