My mom accidentally took her thyroxine dose twice this morning on an empty stomach. I'm really worried about what might happen. Could you please advise on any steps we should take or if there's anything specific we should watch out for?

Question

What is the simplest way to manage diabetes?

I'm 21 years old and stand 5'1". I've heard about speed height capsules and ashwagandha powder. Are there any medicines or supplements out there that can actually help in increasing height? I'm really curious if these options work or if there are others I should consider.

Question

I'm really worried about my TSH level, which is at 36.28. I've felt super depressed and can't stop wanting to eat more. I'm currently on a 100 mcg tablet, but should I be thinking about increasing it? I try to exercise daily for about 30 to 40 minutes. Since I'm staying in a hostel, what kind of food choices should I be making to help get my thyroid under control? Also, I can't seem to lose any weight. Any advice?
