I have had a thyroid condition since I was a teenager I am now in my 50s, had the surgery. My concern is that I always feel that my daughter may have it, she is always tired and needs so much sleep, even as a baby she slept so much, she is now 16. I have had her blood tested numerous times but I know it never showed up in my blood for years. Is there another test I can demand out there. Any comments?

ok this may not make any sense... my DD is 17...and she was recently diagnosed with PCOS. she was tired all the time, face hair, things that were not right. so I finally found a doc that listened and did blood work. have them check her for that. im very glad I had her tested now instead of having her go through many more years like this. I have learned alot on the ivillage board for pcos...good luck!
