Adjusting Methimazole Dosage for Elevated TSH Levels
I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease with TSH level almost zero in August 2023. I was prescribed Methimez 15 mg initially, which was gradually reduced to 2.5mg daily. My TSH level is currently 7.9, FT4=0.82, FT3=2.9. Should I still be taking daily methimez 2.5mg or should I fully stop it/reduce it less than 2.5mg daily since TSH level is currently 7.9. History of medical conditions: I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease in August 2023 with TSH level touching zero. Current medication details: I was prescribed Methimez 15mg daily which was gradually reduced and is currently prescribed at 2.5mg on a daily basis. History of medication for the same complaint: None

Graves' Disease affects thyroid function. Your recent TSH test result at 7.9 shows an imbalance. To regulate hormone levels, continue taking Methimazole 2.5mg daily as prescribed. Stopping this medicine on your own risks causing uncontrolled symptoms. These may include rapid heartbeat, weight fluctuations, and fatigue. If you have any worries or questions, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.

How to increase my hormone level
Male | 18
If your hormone levels are not where you would like them to be, this could lead to feelings of fatigue as well as irritability. A lack of sufficient rest, stress, or an improper diet are all potential causes behind having low hormonal amounts within the body. To create higher hormone amounts within the body: reduce stress through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises; aim for at least 8 hours of sleep each night; eat foods that are high in healthy fats like avocados and nuts while also being good sources of protein.

I'm 22 years old ,,I'm too lean,but I'm not tired anymore,,i have no thyroid issues ,,,,but my waist and thighs are so thin my face also too lean ,,,will u plz prescribe me weight gain injections for me
Female | 22
A fast metabolism or a shortage in the diet can be the reason for a person's problem of maintaining a normal weight. Weight-gaining shots are a bit unsafe since they can have side effects. To gain pounds the healthy way, you should eat foods that are high in proteins, fats, and carbohydrates such as nuts, avocados, and whole grains. Everyday activities like pushups and weightlifting can help you increase your muscles. If you feel that you are too skinny consult a nutritionist for advice.

sir muje calcium ki kami hai
Male | 25
If you feel tired, your muscles are cramping, or you are suffering from weakness, it may be due to the low calcium levels. If there is a consumption of fewer products from the group of “calcium-rich food” that includes if you prefer dairy products, it can cause calcium levels in your blood to fall. To get over it, it is better to introduce more milk, cheese, yogurt, or leafy greens into your daily menu.

Am 28 year old female, I drank strovid ofloxacin sometime ago, don't know if it delaying my period because have Done pregnancy test and it showing negative and my period was supposed to be out on the 7th of july
Female | 28
Yes, it is the high perplexity of antibiotics like Strovid Ofloxacin that makes them interfere with your menstrual cycle. Among the reasons may be this interaction of it with the hormones responsible for menstruation. These factors can also cause delays, such as stress, sickness, or weight change. In case your pregnancy test is negative, try to de-stress. Your menstruation will come in the next few days. If it is still late, you can get connected with a gynecologist.

My mother is suffering from thyroid ,she had a mild stroke before some days now she is in bed .A physiotherapy is done every day at home.but she is very weak.we have done her thyroid test this is here T3-111.5 T4-9.02 TSH-7.110. Please let me know the exact power of her medicine.
Female | 68
It appears to me that she suffers from hypothyroidism because of a lack of energy amongst other symptoms. A high TSH means that the thyroid is not producing enough hormones. Possibly, she may have to adjust the dosage of her thyroid medication to correspond with these levels. Please ensure that she adheres to taking her drugs regularly as well as continuing physiotherapy for all-round healing.
