I'm dealing with a Vitamin D3 deficiency and my doctor prescribed some Vitamin D3 capsules from Mankind that I'm supposed to take weekly. But after taking them, I've been feeling like my head is heavier and I'm constantly thirsty. Is it normal to feel this way? Could there be a problem with how I'm taking them, or is there a better way to boost my Vitamin D3 levels quickly? Any advice would be great.

For a 20mm kidney stone, medication alone may not be effective. Consult your urologist or nephrologist for alternative treatment options. They may recommend: - Alpha-blockers (e.g., Tamsulosin) to help pass the stone - Potassium citrate to help dissolve the stone - Pain management medication (e.g., analgesics) Surgical options, such as lithotripsy or ureteroscopy, may also be considered.

Question

Why does diabetes lead to so many other medical issues?

I'm dealing with thyroid issues and I've been drinking hot lemon and honey water in the mornings to help with weight loss. But now I'm really unsure if I should be taking my medication first thing instead. What would be the best order to do this?

Question

I'm a bit worried about my recent thyroid function test results. They did the tests on 04062016 and my T3 level came back as 1.09 ngml, which I know falls somewhere within the normal 0.72-2.02 ngml range. But here's where I get confused my T4 was 8.38 ugdl and TSH was 5.61 uIUml. I understand that T4 seems to be okay within the normal 4.3-12.5 ugdl range, but my TSH level is above the normal 0.4-4.2 uIUml range. Do you think I should start medication based on these results? I'm anxious about what this might mean for my health.
