The person is no longer a child. In fact all the physical issues were not discovered until she was nearly an adult, and much was not corrected until after she was an adult. She is doing well. Not perfectly, of course - there are things that are not completely fixable, but she is doing well. It unbelievably took 4 years to get a doctor that knew how to correct just her thyroid level! Hers is hypothalamic. Her GP could not find the "answer" in his medical textbooks. They mention it but that's all. It is said to be "rare" yet how can they know that if they don't test for it, yet they also say it is more common to have hypothalamic involvement in cases where there are mental illness diagnoses. Therefore, shouldn't they always be testing all the thyroid hormones in those cases?
