I don't know if this is the place to post this or not, I just have some questions and hopefully some people can answer. My son Ethan, just turned 2 years old and probably has Hypotheriodism he could have had it since birth, the hospital said he did, then he didn't and now at 2 they are saying he does again, I may be taking legal actions but thats a different story.
Anyway if anyone knows about this or their child has had it please chime in, my son has some of the symptoms for it and I really hope he doesn't have mental retardtion, He doesn't speak yet, get's really excited about some stuff, runs laps, stands on his tippy toes, flaps his arms, etc. We thought it might be Autism, but the doctor said his theriod was underactive and he has some Lead in his blood, this is really hitting me hard considering I'm only 24 and I was diagonised with a form of cancer this year. I guess basically I'm just asking if anyone's child has Hypotheriodism, if so what signs did they have, when did they get diagonised with it and how did the treatment help? I'm just hoping eventually he will talk, if they do treatment will we see any changes? If this isn't a good place to post, if anyone knows another forum I'd really appricate it, my name is Jason and I don't know how often I'll check this forum but if anyone feels free to please email me with anything you know or if you child has the same condition thank you.
