View allI'm feeling a bit confused and worried about my thyroid levels. I had a TSH level of 23, but my free T3 and T4 were normal. So, I decided to try the B56 homeopathy drops. At around the fourth month, my TSH improved to 8.4, but after finishing eight months, it's back up to 23. I'm just wondering why it would increase again and if maybe I should consider a different treatment?

I'm a little concerned about my wife's health. Her recent test results show a high TSH value of 17.32, and while she's been struggling with being overweight, she doesn't have any other issues. Should we be worried about this result, and what might it mean for her thyroid function?
A TSH value of 17.32 is significantly elevated, indicating hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones; being overweight can be both a cause and a consequence of hypothyroidism;

I'm 42 and my blood sugar is at 164. My feet have this burning sensation, and I've been feeling really weak. What could be causing this, and what can I do to feel better?
Your blood sugar level of 164 indicates uncontrolled diabetes, which can lead to symptoms like burning feet and weakness. To help manage your symptoms, I recommend taking Metformin 500mg twice daily before meals to control your blood sugar levels. Additionally, you can take Vitamin B12 supplements to help with the burning sensation in your feet. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
