Warning!! Keeps tabs on your child's thyroid levels if they have lyme

[Guest guest]

We spent a full day in the ER/ICU with my son, having HYPER thyroid - they first

thought he was in thyroid storm, which is SUPER serious, and life threatening,

most people do not survive. The DR said my son had the highest level, they have

seen all year in anyone and were surprised he had not had a heart attack or

stroke.

And this is related to the lyme of course!

I would watch about using Iodine supplementation, not to say you should not use

it

but you need to know the warning signs, if your child should slip into hyper

thyroid.

Many of our kids have speech issues, so you have to watch more how they are

acting and are behaving.

Here are a few warning tips: increased respirations, racing heart, fatigue,

moody, waking up during the night, fever, lack of enjoyment from anything they

love to do, a stark look in their eyes like they just don't feel well, anxiety,

tremors in hands, etc...

* Also be prepared to answer about vaccines, if your child had a flu shot, or

tenaus, and anything else they can shoot in them. I was shocked how soon in

the information

they were requesting, if he had any of these vaccines recently, as they were

ready to

bring him one in right away!

We had nice nurses and DR's, but they had paper work messed up and gave us wrong

prescriptions to some other patient on discharge. And it was not a busy time at

the hospital, I just think they are being pushed to do so many other things, too

much paper work, or working too many shifts. I even questioned every medication

they brought in to give my son.
