Misdiagnosed Hypothyroidism?

[Guest guest]

My name is , I am new to this group. My daughter, who is 14 years

old, was diagnosis with a supratentorial ependymoma brain tumor 9

years ago. She has several of the symptoms of hypothyroidism and is a

likely candidate since she was treated with head radiation in 1998.

Her recent blood tests indicate her T3 and T4 are in the reference

range but on the low end of the scale. Her TSH is 2.807. She has not

had a period since August. Her endocrinologist says everything is

normal. I strongly disagree. I understand that hypothyroidism is often

misdiagnosed. Has anyone encountered this issue or have any

suggestions?

push for what you know is right. it is your daughter and you now her better than

any Dr. dose. I wish i had pushed for more answer than i did. from what i can

put together my daughters problem started at the age of 5 and was not treated

till she was 7 or 8. so push for answers.
