I just found out some symptoms of Hypothyroidism in children: Eczema, leg pain, foot pain, dandruff, stomach aches, dry and coarse hair, slow growing hair, feeling cold, feeling tired, insomnia and chronic illnesses and ear infections are some other things to look for in addition to low body temperature. I had all those plus constipation; I was more than just tired - I was quite fatigued. Why don't parents realize that the above symptoms are NOT normal for ANY child and find a good doctor! I hope so much that anyone reading this will consider family history (of course, unless you are adopted, like myself, and you are a second class citizen with no access to family history) and take a good hard look at a child that seems to be too tired to play, can't sleep well, has tons of allergies; please save your child a lifetime of misery like mine and insist on getting tests for them - not just TSH, but FreeT3, FreeT4, the TWO antibody tests, plus get their iron checked, a full panel, including their storage iron, ferritan. Don't just give them a multi vitamin from the grocery store, read the labels and make that the ingredients are bio-available. Please give your child a fighting chance at a normal life! Don't assume, like my parents did, that your childs problems are unique to your child. Chances are that they are NOT.
