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.
Hypothyroidism is a problem in which the thyroid is underactive and is very common, especially among women. At least 10% of women in the United States have signs of hypothyroidism by the age of 50. The risk of hypothyroidism increases with age and at age 60, 17% of women and 8% of men have signs of hypothyroidism. The most common cause of hypothyroidism is an autoimmune problem (i.e. the body attacks specific parts of itself) called Hashimoto's thyroiditis or lymphocytic thyroiditis. In this disease, the body makes antithyroid antibodies that attack and destroy the thyroid.
