I got the test for my baby and was so hoping that was what the problem was but unfortunately it was not. I am now considering Atopica which I am very nervous about, but I think at this point I do not have any other choice. I just thought I would try and help you out, because I hate to hear about all these poor babies suffering. Hope this helps, Good luck! Lexi's Mom |
Did they do the full panel for lexi as i privately emailed you too as thyroid is really hard to test so you have to do all the panels and i think you live close enough to garden grove, ca to make the trip to dr. dodd's as atopica is not really working for dd and hair never grew back in 10 months and i went to dr. dodds and she has hypothyroid
her thyroid tested fine in 3/06 but now it is not and this is why hairloss and itchiness still even on atopica - i hope this is finally the answer as i have been through the ringer and 5k in bills to finally find out - dr. dodds is the expert on thyroid disease so have vet send to her or if you live close enough go have her do it
