I feel sick. I have been reading about the effects of hypothyroidism on mental function, and according to research untreated infants can lose up to three to five IQ points per month during the first year. PER MONTH... She's 13 months, she could have lost 39-65 IQ points already. It is as though the benefits to starting GH early have been erased by untreated hypothryodism.

I don't even know what to do. Fuck you Prader-Willi Syndrome. Seriously.

    Just remember that you tell other parents not to google PWS, so take everything you find about hypothyroidism with a grain of salt. Hopefully all that information is outdated as well
