Teens with Hashimoto's

Wed, 12-27-2006 - 12:00am
Both my teen girls have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's. They see an pediatric endo and are tested regularly. I can't seem to find any good info about kids this age with thyroid problems. I can find adults and much younger children. My younger daughter was diagnosed 3 years ago and I believe she had problems for at least 3 years before that. She has always had health problems (- every cold and virus that goes around school) and still struggles at times to stay healthy. Any suggestions on where to turn?
Thanks

Hi Montanagal79,


Welcome to our board.


I think you're right about finding information on other age groups but not the teens.

Thanks - I will give that a try. It is very frustrating as the endo doc is 160 miles away and most of the docs here don't deal with the specifics of this problem. I will continue to check this site to see if I can find any useful info.
Thanks again
