Guest guest Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I personally have a hyperactive thyroid. It is the by-product of an auto-immune disease that messes with my thyroid function. Does Isabella eat a lot and stay underweight or normal weight? Does she get fatigued easily?  To: " MosaicDS " <MosaicDS > Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 10:20 PM Subject: Thryoid question  Hi all, Isabellla is 4 1/2 years old. She just had a blood test and her thyroid came back high. I know that usually this is very rare in children of this age. Have any of you experienced this? Please say a prayer that the lab made a mistake.  Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 How high is high? What numberand for which one T4 or TSH? (Was a complete thyroid panel done or just T3, T4 and TSH? Oftentimes a full thyroid panel needs to be done to get a complete picture.) P.S. Illness (like viral illness) can cause an elevated TSH. his is transient and should resume to normal limits once the virus is gone. I mention this because it is cold season and we personally have had this ahppen. Further investigation showed that his TSH went back down when he got well. Is she sick?) > > Hi all, > Isabellla is 4 1/2 years old. She just had a blood test and her thyroid came back high. I know that usually this is very rare in children of this age.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 It's very common for children with DS to take a Thyroid replacement. It's a tiny pill, crush it up & mix w/ her applesauce or juice for breakfast. > > I personally have a hyperactive thyroid.
