Was there any indication that your son's tonsillectomy resulted in any surgical errors that would lead you to believe that this effected his thyroid?
I have not seen any reports on the removal of tonsils as causing any thyroid issues. Since you are worried about hyperthyroidism (most likely because of the similarities in symptoms), has your son had his thyroid medically evaluated, along with blood tests to confirm that he does/does not have hyperthyroidism? Is there a family history of hyperthyroidism in your son's family (either side)?
Why do your doctors think that your son's symptoms of tremors, nervousness, weight loss and irritability are hereditary? Is there a family history of any of these conditions your son's family (either side)?
As you know, there are so many changes that occur to children between the ages of 7 to 14, and I am wondering what doctors you have seen, what tests your son has undergone, to seek some sort of diagnosis or cause to his symptoms. I am wondering what has happened in the past 7 years: have you been to numerous doctors, have all of these symptoms been gradually worsening or did they literally appear days after his tonsillectomy seven years ago?
