I was born with congenital hypothyroidism in the mid 70's, when it wasn't so wildly known/discussed as it is now. What this video doesn't explain is that Levothyroxine (the generic of name brand Synthroid) can also cause weight gain, whereas Synthroid can control it a bit. The misfortune of living in the states is that health insurance is now a requirement, and a majority, if not all, of the health insurance companies, will try to push Levothyroxine (generic) over Synthroid (name brand), offering the former up for free, whereas one would have to pay a lofty price for the latter. Just an FYI.

You mention tests for TSH and T4 but what about T3. Is that because prescribing T3 medication is expensive and so it's ignored?

This was so cute! I'm studying for my peds quiz and this has been so helpful thank you!

I am 12 and have a thyroid problem and have almost al of the symptoms of the blue kid plus i am a bit overweight so this was really helpfull and informative

Just out of curiosity, did this "lump" feel sensitive at all? Any pain? Can it cause breathing issues? I have an adam's apple now when I never had one before. Every now and then it feels like i'm being pinched there. I've had a weird experience with symptoms and have tracked it down to my thyroid. My doctors keep thinking its anxiety and panic attacks( I've been to the ER 5 times due to rapid uncontrollable heart rate and bp, breathing troubles, and weakness). They kept telling me its a panic attack when I KNOW what a panic attack is and panic attacks don't come out of knowhere right after you wake up or when you are laughing having a good time. What should I do??? No one is even bothering to do the proper blood tests and keep saying its psychological!

Thank you for your video i hope my treatment goes as well as yours.

very informative. ..... thank you. .. there isn't alot out there for congenital hypothyroidism.

sir i want help plzzz indian girl problem THYROID IN EYE

I was in remission for a solid 2 years from a severe case of Graves' disease. Just relapsed a week ago. Cause: stress

How's it going now? These days. Any medicine?

I wish I could have this as well. I've had eyelid surgeries, but can't use steroids (kidney disease and more...). My TED is flaring up again with eye pain and headache and I'm needing treatment. Unfortunately my health insurance (in the US) fights having to pay for anything sophisticated or unusual (or expensive)!

So I am a bit confused regarding this video. Did Beth only have the one side of the thyroid removed? Or did she proceed with a complete thyroidectomy after diagnosed with cancer on the one side?

i have TED i have a Chinita eye before but since ive got hyperthyroidism my eyes got affected with graves disease and my vision is very blurred im also blind without eyeglasses on. im planning to have Orbital Decompression hope that will help.

awesome!

I would love to have this treatment for my TED but I don't think it is on offer here in Ireland where I am.

Mine did not descend all the way so u can see mine :(

Thank you for the informative video, my daughter was born without a thyroid and now she is six and perfect and think this is a good video for her to watch.
