Hi all
So my latest battle is my baby Sydney has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. We did the thyroid scan and uptake about 1 month ago, and at first the tech said she has no thyroid (what!?!?) then she said, oh it is nestled in her neck, just under the chin. (whew!)
Then bloodwork indicates her levels are very low (t3/t4/tsh). So this doc prescribes .37mcg of synthroid. She's been on it for a month, and seems to be displaying signs of hyperthyroidism.
Sidenote: drawing blood from a 2mo is really really really really NOT FUN!
I have Grave's disease and had a complete thyroidectomy in 98. I am still struggling to get my meds right, now I have to worry about my babys?
(Sorry for the rant of frustration)
Anyway-anyone out there dealing with the same thing? On a NATURAL level, how have you been treating yourself/babies with thryoid issues?
Thanks for your responses!
Warmest Regards
