I have a child with chronic hypothermia for few years, diagnosed recently with sero-negative myopathy on EMG.
I suspect hypothermia and myopathy are are linked by thyroxine effects on muscle or ACH receptors

Please get the childs full thyroid profile before deciding if hypothyroidism is responsible or not as although thyroid has a role in differentiation in early stages first you have to know if there is hypothyroidism or not and if congenital hypothyroidism is it primary or secondary and further management only comes accordinglyand one tries to see which gene deficiency is responsible and does the child need replacement L-THYROXINE THERAPY OR NOT and get the CRP levels as well to further decidethe management.
