If you pay an extra $50 monthly principle more than the $330 you'll pay off the loan even quicker. You can clearly see the power of refinancing your current high interest rate loan. Most people don't realize how bad high interest car loans are for your bank account and what a difference 1% makes.
Almost all cases of hypothyroidism in children and teens are caused by the autoimmune disease known as Gravesâ disease. Among children, we see hyperthyroidism most often in adolescent girls. It may come and go throughout life, needing treatment for months or years at a time and then not needing treatment for some time.
More often, hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) occurs after a few months and lasts lifelong, requiring treatment. In fact, when patients have Gravesâ disease, a dose of radioactive iodine is chosen with the goal of making the patient hypothyroid so that the hyperthyroidism does not return in the future. Hypothyroidism can easily be treated with a thyroid hormone supplement taken once a day (see Hypothyroidism brochure).
