Question

I'm a 48-year-old woman and I've been taking Evion 200 mg, just one capsule a day, for the past couple of years. I usually take a break for a month every six months to help manage my hormonal issues. I'm starting to wonder, though, could this have any side effects I should be aware of?

Question

I'm a 28-year-old guy managing my blood pressure with amlodipine and nebicard 2.5. Lately, I've been dealing with vertigo, and after an MRI, the neurologist said I'm fine and just gave me some spinfree tabs. He also noted that my vitamin D level is 64 nmolL and recommended a mega dose of 600,000 IU intramuscularly once a month for three months. Prior to this, I was on a 60,000 IU weekly regimen for three months, then reduced to once a month for two months. Ever since starting the 600,000 IU injections, I've been feeling like my heart's racing and I'm getting sweaty all over. Is it safe for me to continue these high-dose vitamin D injections given that I have high blood pressure and a 2mm kidney stone that I'm hoping to pass with lots of water? Just feeling a bit uneasy since my doctor is a neurologist, not a cardiologist.

Question

I'm wondering if it's safe to take thyronorm 50 mcg alongside folvite 5 mg, since we're planning to have a baby. My TSH was 5.7 but has come down to 4.97 after taking thyronorm and some homeopathy treatments. I'm really curious if this TSH level is okay for conceiving?
