Thyroid problems are hereditary - my grandmother and uncle, me and now
my 9 year old daughter. I don't know about growth spurts setting it off
but my little girl is very hard to regulate. As she grows we are
constantly adjusting. Started in May and still don't have her in normal
range. As they increase synthroid she has had a growth spurt and needs
more synthroid - seems like a vicous circle.
Good luck, Pam
