CBC AND DOWN SYNDROME

by Mommy612, Nov 23, 2008 11:10AM
My thirteen year old ds daughter has hypothyroidism controlled by meds. and was just diagnosed with asthma. She has had three open heart surgeries, also. Her cbc values were all in range, but a couple things looked funny to me. Wondered if any of you have had cbc's done on your kiddos and if you would be willing to share some thoughts and results. I am most interested in wbc,eosonophils,monocytes, platelets, and lymphocytes. Thanks so mucg for any info., i just want to do some comparing and contrasting.

My son is 38, he has regular blood work done yearly with his checkups, but always within normal range, he is on cumadin (coumadin) for life now, had  a necrotic bowel that required major surgery  6 years ago, and he developed clots, I do know that hypo thyroid is very comman , and if asthma runs in the family, that can happen also.  All I can suggest is just to ne vigilent  and  keep your daughter as healthy as possible.

Hello!

I am a 41 yr old with hypothyroidism (I have had radioactive iodine treatments for a nodule) I have been having weird things going on with my body lately and had recently had my blood count done besides my THS.  I had low Lymphosytes and Monophosytes but high Eosonophils.  My doctor just told me to take allergy meds. but I have done that and am worse.  My symptoms are so bad that I cannot work.  I have been to many doctors in many states and tired of all the wrong diagnosis.  
Have you/your daughter had thiks trouble as well??
