worried about my 2 yr. old daughter

My 2 yr old daughter seems very shaky and weak when she immediatly wakes from her naps and sometimes in the mornings. She is a healthy child with no past problems, but I dont know what could be causing this?

hi, I'm not sure but are you sure about her thyroid? if she is shaking and thin it may be because of hyperthyroidism. it is better to refer to a doctor if you are not sure.

I havent noticed the problem so much as my babysitter and husband have and i have been watching her when she wakes up. she does it every time i take her to the babysitters, which is once or twice a wk, and my husband has noticed it a few times when he was home with her (when she woke from her nap) My babysitter even asked me if she was diabetic which got me really worried but i know she is not diabetic. There arent really any other symptoms to go along with it, except maybe shes more fussy, but shes also coming into the terrible twos. She sleeps very well at night time, and she plays the same as always at home, but the babysitter said she just stands there and watches the other children play alot. I dont see that in her at home because she has a 6 yr old brother to play with and all seems normal she runs around and laughs and plays.

I dont think its a hunger she does eat her breakfast pretty good, she is tiny however but she has always been on the same line (about 10th percentile) I thought maybe some sort of vitamin deficiency? she does take daily childrens vitamins though
