Related Questions
I have a question about Graves' disease.
How can I help my 15-year-old daughter who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 9 overcome this diagnosis?
My granddaughter is 9 years old and has Optic Nerve Hypoplasia in one eye, with no sight in that eye. She now has elevated TSH levels with normal T3 and T4 numbers. I am giving her herbal supplements, but they are working very slowly. She is overweight and losing her hair too. Her endocrinologist wants to put her on Levothyroxine, but I do not want her to take it. What should I do? Please help me. Thanks, Deb Gamble (jeffndebg\@gmail.com)
