I’m sorry to hear what you and your children have been through with thyroid disease, Susan. You make an incredibly important point. You’ll find this article at Hypothyroid Mom helpful about the connection between thyroid and ADD/ADHD. Wishing your children good thyroid health.

It’s so unfortunate that the medical community believes a single pill cures such a complicated disease. Not only am I struggling with this chronic disease but both my kids were finally diagnosed at the age of Ten. I noticed my kids were starting to struggle with learning, became chunky and shorter then their peers. My daughter was diagnosed first, it was such a struggle to figure out what happened to my daughter. Unfortunately her symptoms correlated with ADD/ADHD or becoming a strong willed child. I had to believe in my child before I could help her, I requested labs, her TSH was high. It took 2 yrs to finally get her back to her cognitive level with multiple set back along the way. The school system was a nightmare and pretty much remains a nightmare. My son was easier to diagnose so he didn’t suffer too much from the foggy brain because I caught his symptoms early on. I’m sharing my story because hypothyroid in children is ignored. Hypothyroidism in children is easily passed as a child with a learning disorder ( which a foggy brain is but the treatment isn’t a special education class) ADD/ADHD. For those who have autoimmune disorders in your family and your child struggle with learning , unable to tolerate sensations or stress and if they are not meeting growth goals and they’re gaining wt, have them tested!!!!!!!!!
