My daughter is 31 years old. When she was 16, she was diagnosed autoimmune hypothyroidism. Since then, she takes pills every day. She takes the levothyroxine. The drug helps to cope with the disease. If she accidentally forgets to drink a pill - at once she feels bad.

Why is it not written on the impact of thyroiditis on pregnancy? Will the disease cause changes in the fetus and what should be done to prevent it?

My son was diagnosed hypothyroid and he was appointed L-thyroxine. I give him 50mg/day: Is there a chance that the child gets better and the does not have to take medication any more or is it a disease for the rest of his life?
