Child with undetermined problem

[Rha_Rha]

I have a 6 year old daughter, about 2 months she started stopping in the middle of playing and sitting on her foot like she had to urinate, at first I would get on to her and tell her to get on the potty, she would sit there with her eyes watering, face red and breathing funny, and then get up and say she didn't need to use the bathroom.  This problem got worse, I took her to her pediatrician, and my concerns were ignored, I was told not to let her set in soapy water, and to use baby soap on her, both of which I was already doing.  I told the doctor, I was already doing this, and was told if it's not better by Monday, call me and we will have to send her to a urologist.( To see her in an office for 5 to 10 minutes you would think nothing was wrong with her, she is always happy and playing with the doctor)  We ended up at a urologist office the following Wendesday, an ultra sound of her bladder and kidneys was done, it showed a perfectly healthy bladder and kidneys.  The urologist said it was bladder spasums and put her on Oxybutynin syrup, with in a few days she had a reaction to this medicine,(face and whole head turning red), I was told to cut the dose in half, and that there was nothing she could be given, due to her age and size, and that she would out grow it.  This is not the answere a mother wants to hear when she has a child hurting.  It is affecting her school work.  I took her to our family doctor, who will listen, she pushed on her bladder several times, and had my child bend and touch her toes, and ask each time she pushed on her baldder if it hurt and when she touched her toes if it hurt, and the answere was no everytime.  Blood work was done that day to try to see if the problem could be found. Food allergies, blood sugar, hormones, and thyroid.  She has an allergy to milk and beef.  Her thyroid TSH was 0.81, the doctor said we needed to keep a check on it and we would check it again in 3 to 6 months, unless her hair started falling out.  Her hair is falling out, I did not realize it was falling out, I thought it was her pulling the hair bows out of her hair with out opening them.  I started a lot of hair on her clothes a couple months and stopped putting hair bows in her hair, I never thought of it being a medical problem.  Should I insist that we go ahead with a full thyroid screening, if I wait even 3 months, half of the school year will be gone.  She has a hard time paying attention, and everything around her distracts her.  When she is worked with one on one, she gets a 100, so of the papers I have been getting, she has had grades as low as 40.  I know the thyroid controls a lot of body functions,  Could this be causing all these  problems?

Thank you for your response. I have read my original comments and realize that I left out details that are important.  Between the visit with the pediatrician and the visit with our family doctor, may daughter lost 4 pounds, which is a big deal, due to her weight only being 39 lbs at the 1st visit, and 35 lbs a month later, this is a little over 10% of her body weight.  That is a lot of weight for her to loose in a month.  When we visitied the family doctor, she had been sick with vomiting and diareah for 2 days ( this was a bug that is going around in our area), this doesn't account for that much weight loose.  I haven't been concerned about her size (39 lbs, top weight in 6 years) due to my family being relatively small people.  I have 2 sisters, and we were small when we were young.

I think 3 months is two much, you must repeat the analyses earlier because her symptoms changed. I don't know if you noticed there is a Pediatric Endocrinology forum the doctor there answers all questions, she takes 2-3 days for you to have an answer but she's very good (doctor), and sometimes she goes back an answer your question twice.
