what are the chances that my child takes up hyperthyroid from me?

Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism is an inherited disorder that can be passed from a parent to a child. however to dissolve a relationship because a person has one of these treatable conditions is crazy. SO yes, it's possible your child may develop the same condition you have, but then again if your significant other has an inherited condition then it could be passed on as well.

yes, although you will want to be in close contact with your primary care doctor to get frequent TSH checks to make sure your synthroid dose is appropriate (it will change during pregnancy)

Nope ...sorry to say. I was 100 lbs when i was diagnosed with that and I also did the Radioactice iodine. I had a child and since then I was overweight. I weight up to 180 and that was after the baby also. Your thyroid is kinda a tricky little shit and it takes forever to get normal. but some people are different. This was back in 2000 I was 20 years old then. and barely in the summer of 2005 it became normal since they finally found a dosage thats works for me and since then I have lost about 60lbs. But it can take awhile. The radioactive iodine just kills but its the meds that will help you, once they have the right kind for your body. \nI have change to hyper to hypo back to hyper and now im so confused i dont even know what I am anymore, I just take the medicine thats making me lose weight like crazy. Time will pass and soon everything will be fine.

When radioactive iodine is used to treat an overactive thyroid, the dosage is usually quite small.  The radioactivity is mostly in a form that travels very short distances in the body usually 1/8 of an inch or less.  Radioactive iodine does not even damage structures next to the thyroid gland itself. There is no sterility, and no danger to unborn children. It is quite safe to have children after therapy. Doctors usually do recommend that you wait six months after the therapy if your a woman and planing on becomming pregnant. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if this will help you, but my cousin's oldest daughter has this same problem.  SHe is 14, though, and is being seen by specialists at a special hospital.  She is 3 feet tall.  It is her thyroid and they are trying experimental medication on her.  She may have grown an inch in the last year, which is great.  I also have small hands, but not smaller than average.  I would take the advice and get your thyroid tested.  Then again, due to that hormone missing, that may be the reason behind it.  Is it Estrogen?

Umm why would you ask this? if your toddler has ingested some you should call poison control. nothing may happen but you should be safe about it. for some reason this question freaks me out.

Thyroid adenomas are usually benign. If the growth is not removed and is large enough, it will cause hyperthyroidism.  The symptoms can often be treated successfully with anti-thyroid drugs.  However, if the drugs do not work, surgery is recommended.\n\nSymptoms of hyperthyroidism are:\nnervousness\nmoodiness\nweakness\ntiredness \nfast or irregular heart beat\nhand tremors\nrespiratory difficulties\nprofuse perspiration\nred, itchy skin\nfrequent diarrhea \nhair loss\nweight loss

If it is inhereted then you need to go see a genetic counsseler. They will trace your family pedegree for the trait and find out if it is dominant or reccesive and the likelyhood of passing it on. But as a fair warning if it is somewhat rare and the effects show in you then it is probably reccesive so you have a 100% chance of passing it on. However if it is reccesive and your partener does not pass it on then it wont effect your kids :) ...\n\nsorry if you already know this, my point is you should se a genetic counseler. They will tell you everything you need to know.

there are many different reasons why someone's thyroid would shut down on them.  usually its due to old age.  i personally know someone who was diagnosed w/ hypothyroid, and had to take thyroid replacement medication.  after awhile, the thyroid medication may increase too much thyroid hormone, and will cause u to become hyperthyroid.  so its good to have regular check ups on ur thyroid replacement thereapy.  and to answer ur question, sadly to say u will be on medication for the rest of ur life.  but dont feel too bad, this is a very common problem that many of us have to face in the golden years of life.

My three year old has several food allergies including dairy.    I always bring her soy milk and snacks when we go out, but I almost always find something there also.  You need to be very proactive and let the waiter know exactly what your child is allergic to, that it can't even touch this food. I also explain that dairy includes cheese and butter as well as milk, for some reason some people just don't get it when you say dairy.  Try to find a few restaurants that are chains that you like, so when you are out of town you'll know where you can go for sure. Some of the bigger restaurants have ingredient lists on their websites. You can also call ahead and ask a manager for ingredients.  For the most part I haven't had anyone say they couldn't help me, but I have had to send food back before.  Always bring Benadryl and an Epipen with you just in case.  Good luck .

I had Graves Disease for 3 years - It sounds like the doctor still need to get you regulated, with the proper dosage of Levoxyl or Synthyroid. I still get my blood tested every 2 or 3 months. Check out this web site http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/graves-disease/DS00181 for additional info!! You may also have trouble when you are taking your meds. You need to take it on an empty stomach at least 2 hours before your last meal or least an hour before you eat a meal..

once your thyroid hormons are back to their normal levels u'll gain the weight you lost. Most of the time treatment for hyperthytoidism leaves you in hypothyroidism, so u'll eventually gain more weight that u even lost! but dont worry, once ur TSH is in normal levels u'll be ok

Some children develop early, but 6 does seem a little extreme.  Take her to the doctor for an expert opinion and for blood tests to see if her hormones are OK.

me personally I would not allow it at all, but I would check with the doctors office themself. You are a very trusting mom/dad to do that. Even if its allright I would really reconsider always have an adult with your child, a family member or a family friend

Up to a year, most of the nutrition should be from ideally breastmilk or at least formula.  I wouldn't worry too much for now.  You might try other types of food, but I would stick to the essentials (Gerber stage 3 equivalent if there are a couple of teeth or so.\n\nIf it occurs for too long, talk to your pediatrician about it at the next regular visit.\n\nIf there is any weight loss or any serious concern, go sooner.\n\nGood luck!

With hormone replacement you should still be able to get pregnant.\n\nYour thyroid gland plays a part along with many of your other endocrine system glands to regulate certain body functions.  Without it you may have to take a replacement hormone to helpregulate the other parts of your endocrine system but the loss of your thyroid should not make you totally incapable of becoming pregnant.  It may affect other organs which could affect your ability to become pregnant -due to the lack of the hormones that the thyroid produces- but you should still be able to concieve.  You should be asking your doctor this question and not Yahoo!
