Hello,
we have an 11 year old son. In 2008 he was tested for several things. He was diagnosed with hoshimotos thyroiditis. He has has a consistent high t4, tested positive for anti-tpo (level <1000), thyroglobulin antibodies (<1193), + ana, ana titer 1:160, + for immunoglobin a, positive for ach binding and modulating, positive for gad antibodies. He has no clinical signs or symptoms of myasthenia gravis, he sees a neurologist regularly as well as an endocronologist and will see a pediatric rhuematologist next week. Ophthamologist said he does not see signs of mg. I have doctors that wonder why there are so many antibodies and what they can and will do and doctors who say they are just there and don't mean anything |

*edit* Hang in there. The science is really starting to get somewhere with HE the last couple of years. There are studies coming out of Japan that hold promise for finding a valid, sure-fire test for HE although they will need a few years of testing to see if the science holds up in real life. Peace be with you. Last edited by Chemar; 10-15-2012 at 03:19 PM. Reason: NT guidelines |
