That's interesting. I did not know that.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention! I am going to have that checked.

Thank you Jayne. I wanted to start her on something to help her and since it contained raw thryoid (from New Zealand - no antibiotics, hormones etc ), I thought it might help her until we get all her other tests completed.

That's interesting that the hypoT started after a head injury - I wonder how often that type of thing happens! I know I had a few head injuries years ago. I worry so much when it happens to the children. I had my one little guy to the ER twice this past year!

I know a little about raw thyroid. The daughter of a friend began exhibiting hypoT symptoms after a head injury. Mum, unable to pay for any tests or meds, managed to get some pork thyroid from a farmer (talk about RAW!). I am not exactly sure how it was administered but the daughter is doing fine on it.FWIWJaye> > Sure I will help. Let me know. It looks like what you are doing is OK.
