  • For years I knew there was something wrong with my body.   But could get no answers.   All the symptoms pointed to low thyroid...but the tests said no...so I dealt with the exhaustion...and the weight gain.


    Now I'm watching my daughter fight the symptoms.   Low energy, mood swings....and the test says she has it.  But he absolutely will NOT treat her.   The numbers not high enough.


    I'm really frustrated. 


    So here's the deal.  In oxygen and babies they give babies the ultimate amount.   An adults "low" oxy isn't a worry until 90.  A baby they worry about at 94.   They want the baby's health to be at maximum doseage.


    Apparently when it comes to thyroid its the opposite.  If a adult had my daughters test results they'd put them on thyroid med.   But because children haven't been researched enough.   They won't.   He'll watch it.  Its a "concern".   But "I highly doubt that its the reason for her exhaustion."   BULL HICKY!


    He did sense my frustration and he did call a endrocrinologist.   And they agreed with him...apparently.    So I'm left knowing why my daughter is tired, and not knowing what to do about it.


    I think that the medical profession as a whole stinks.  I've thought that for a long time.   Their gods, and have all the power.   The only power I have is to walk away and refuse help...oh that's power NOT!


    Soooooooooooo  I guess I'm gonna research and see if theirs any so-called-natural substances that will help Kaylin.   Which I'm highly reluctant to do...but well she can't sleep life away.

  • {{{hugs}}} and prayers for God's wisdom.

  • :heartbeat: *hugs* Praying for you and for Kaylin... must be hard to see your baby go through something when you know exactly what it's like!

  • understand your frustration!!!!  I have had it several times with Matt and Ellie.  I KNOW what they need or have and my dr says "It's normal."  I KNOW it isn't.  So frustratinng.  I will be praying for your little one and for you. :)

  • It wouldn't hurt to call for a completely independent second opinion.  If the dr has the endo on the line and says "here's MY opinion" they are more likely to agree with him than not.  And I believe there are natural meds that are useful, but I don't personally know what they are.
