I think blood tests would be the most reliable way to see how the

thyroid is doing. If you are worried about hyperthyroid, I would

pay attention to heart rate (at rest or asleep). I am cycling

doses of T3 and I have found heart rate is very informative as to

when the T3 is stressing my body.

===>Assuming you are talking about pulse rates, we took them before, timing

the pulse for 6 seconds and then multiplying by 10, right? Can you remind me

what the normal pulse rate is? I agree much better than temps. We are doing a

blood draw next week, but would like to see what her pulse rate is.

Thanks,

I don't know what normal is for kids. With a quick search I find

ranges like 70-110 and 80-100 for her age. She will have her own

normal range of variation, which you can learn by taking it on a

regular basis.

If you see a one-time measurement at the high end of the range, I'm

not sure that would be a concern. Persistently high, then I would

check it out.

I actually take a 60 second pulse once per day and 10 second pulses

at other times. 6 seconds may be fine for your purposes.
