Hypothyroidism in children

4 replies

Thingsthatgo · 31/07/2023 19:46

Does anyone have any experience of hypothyroidism in children? My DS has some symptoms (and I have hypothyroidism also), but does not display all of the symptoms.
He is missing half of his eyebrows (for several years now), he has thin hair and a very high hairline.
He also has a puffy face and droopy eyes.
He also get raynauds.
He doesn't get tired particularly, or have dry skin. He is a slim build and is growing well.
Please let me know your experiences. I'm wondering about requesting a blood test.

My DD was born with it. Why haven't you requested a blood test yet?

TBH is has only just occurred to me. He doesn't have any symptoms that affect his day to day life. His is 11 years old, and has always had sparse eyebrows and thin hair.
