Early puberty and thyroid???
| Mon, 08-16-2004 - 5:21am |
Hi everyone. Just a curious question. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about five years ago, though i'm sure i had it before that. Had noticable symptoms at least for ten years, after my daughter was born. My question is about how long i might have really had probs though. I was a very early developer in some ways. I was very tall, and had my period at age ten. This may not seem too odd, but i've always wondered why i developed pubic hair so early. I've had it soo long it's hard to remember exactly, but i know i had it at least in the second grade, and i was actually a year younger than most second graders, because of the way my birthday falls. I remember because i was so embarrassed, and one of my friends commented on it when i spent the night at her house. BTW, my baby was a preemie, too. She only weighted five pounds. Just wondered about this. Thanks in advance.

LMK what you find out. i am curious- since i am just the reverse side of the coin!
