Hi, I’d like to test my 13 year old son for Hashimoto’s as I have it and think he may too. Medichecks won’t allow any test for under 18s. Does anyone know somewhere that will please?
Many thanks.

Yes Blue Horizon does. I asked them only two days ago, and they told me that they leave it to the parents to make the decision if it is appropriate for their child to do a home blood test.
You can pay extra for private blood draw at local to you clinic or have nurse come to your house
Make sure to include testing vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin
What’s to stop you putting in a different DOB 😬
You should get an anti-thyroglobulin antibody test as well as thyroid hormone levels but I assume you already know this. If it's Hashimoto's you should consider looking at gut health. Auto-immune conditions are thought to start in the gut. Poor lad hope you get to the bottom of his problems soon.
Has anyone from the US ever ordered those tests? I literally have to leave NY state if I want to have my own blood drawn, it’s ridiculous.
