Here it goes the classic - medical advice over the random internet request. Yeah, i understand there are some risks, but would appreciate any guidance.
My high school daughter is a pretty good swimmer. She swims AA and AAA times for distance events. March started a spiral where she runs out of gas in the pool sooner every day. We have had all the classic blood work done and they come back pretty normal, with exception of one thyroid hormone that runs at the low edge of normal. Our family MD has no idea and referred her to a neurologist. Of course we can't get in there until the end of the month.
She eats well and sleeps 8-9 hours per night. She took three weeks off at the end of high school swim season and could not ramp back up to her previous work load. Now she is getting beat in distance swim by kids that are not free stylers. Lot of tears.
So, is a neurologist the right next step? Or does this seem more like a metabolism issue?
Who should we be seeing?
Thanks.
