Re: criminal activities to vroche0522

Hi -

You know this post has had the cogs turning since I read it. Your son has a

condition that you will never know how lucky you are to have found early.

Sure we all have our moments when we look at our teenager and ask " Who the H

are you? And what have you done with MY child?!!! " But this is much more

serious than the usual teenage shenanegans.

I have both a younger brother and sister who have serious mental illness

problems. Stealing, kidnapping and general anti-social behavior is their

norm. Since my older brother and I have Graves' (just both diagnosed last

year) its most likely that their mental illnesses are the result of untreated

Graves. . . untreated for 20+ years. Note, however, my older brother and I

have most likely had some thyroid disorder all our lives too. . . it was just

diagnosed last year.

Hope that helps put it in perspective for you. And I hope you get your son

back.

Sherry

Hyperthyroidism and criminal behavior.

I have no decent medical library to hand, but I figure Elaine, and one

or two others shouldn't have trouble getting a two year old letter from

the American Journal of Medicine.

I found an article saying Graves in mothers might also have some

explaining to do.... I suspect it is due to untreated hyperthyroidism

during pregnancy.
