hi everyone, i just joined today and this is my 1st post. my son was diagnosed with graves disease and hyperthyroidism when he was just 2 years old. hes 3 years old now and everytime we go to his endocrinologist they are always amazed by him. he is the youngest child they’ve ever seen with graves disease and hyperthyroidism and its very tough on our family but we take each day 1 day at a time. he gets blood draws once every few months and recently his condition has been changing from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism and we have no idea why. he is on methimazole and his doctors keep having to change his doses. they think thats why he keeps changing from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism. hypothyroidism runs in my family. also, he seems to have a really difficult time when hes in cold water. he gets cold very easily/shakes and shivers/turns purple quickly too. does that have to do with the thyroid? thanks! lisa
