Guest guest Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 My son is 8. He is about 30 lbs overweight and seems to be " starving " all the time. He eats all day long and genulinly feels as though her is hungry. I order saliva test for him as both his Dad & I are hypo. Can you all look at these and give me your input please?

DHEA ; 2 range 3-10 (they also comment that it is normal to see depressed DHEA in children under 14, so I dont know if this is ok or not) THyroid: FreeTSH 63 Range: 26-85 Free T3 0.44 Range: 0.28-1.10 Free T 4 0.26 Range: 0.17-0.42 TPO: Negative other hormones: Estradol 14 ref range: (age 20-85) 1-5 Progesterone >1000 no reference range given Free Testosterone 16 Adult male: 70-135 These scare me. they look so off the charts.
