Hypothyroidism And Recovery Posted: 10-30-04 15:29pm
My baby was born two months early and of a
low to very low birth weight. She was
soon diagnosed as having hypothyroidism
and has been taking the proper medication
for about a year. Recently though the
doctor has said that her thyroid is now
completely normal - an uncommon recovery.
Great! But they tell me she has to
continue her medication, but I am in
another country and unable to talk to the
doctors for myself.
So my question is: why does she need the
hormones now? And she is extremely
hyperactive now is this because of the
medication? I know the case is unusual to
some degree, but if any one has any
information, it would be appreciated.
