10 Year old with Hyperthroidism
Posted , 2 users are following.
My 10 year old has just been diagnosed with this confdition and is due to start on Carbimazole in the next few days. I would be interested to have some communication with a parent of a child in a similar situation. Most people seem to be a bit older (?) She has been having night sweats and auditory hallucinations as well as her heart racing, hands shaking etc and she can't wait for these feelings to go away. Any communication on symptoms/how you got on with the medication/anything I should be careful of/looking out for would be much appreciated as well as any other sites that I should have a look at. She has also been given beta blockers to take at night - anybody else had them?

Survived the first night although beta bloker appeared to have little impact anyway as she was up and down all night. I can't remember the last time that either of us had a full nights sleep. May be another 6 weeks to wait! Fingers crossed.
Have to say that I am more relaxed today as she had no immediate side effects. Not sure what I was expecting but given that she has only ever had calpol, this was a big step! I think I though that she would have some massive allergic reaction during the night or something! Bit alarmed about some of the side effects of the drug but will just have to take it day by day I suppose.
Many thanks for your responses.
