  • Betsy - It took forever to get my older son on synthroid. His tsh was high and he had a high antibody level. Unfortunately we moved and the new ped endo does not believe he has hypothroidism. In the year he has been on the med, he has felt better, had more energy, and has gone from the 5th percentile to the 20th in height. The same endo agrees that based on all of her calculations he should be in the 65th% yet she does not believe that this growth spurt has anything to do with the med. I would love to try him on Armour, but for now I am fighting to keep him on Synthroid.

We saw the biggest shift through diet and […]
