I have 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl (10yr, 9yr and almost 8yr old) all diagnosed with hasimotos for about 1 year. The middle child started with acute hyperthyroid 2 years ago and was treat successfully before going the other way into hypothyroid. They all took 75mcg per day.
Last visit to the endo for the middle child and he was increased to 88mcg and within one week complained of "not feeling good", he would pace up and down, he could not sleep, had a very stiff neck. The endo reduced the dosage back to 75mcg and now he still has a stiff neck and complains that the front of his throat is very sore and he has a hoarse voice. Is this significant or am I worrying about nothing?
You have to admit that it is a little wierd that all 3 children have thyroid problems at such an early age!
Please share any advice you can give me.
