View allMy 80-year-old grandma has toxic multinodular goiter her thyroid scan showed high uptake, T3 and T4 are elevated, and TSH is very low. The doctor suggested neomercazole for six weeks followed by surgery, but she's hesitant about the operation. She's had an enlarged thyroid for years with no swallowing or breathing issues, just some breathlessness when walking. Could medication alone manage her hyperthyroidism, or is surgery really necessary in her case? She's worried about going under the knife at her age. Also, should we start the neomercazole as prescribed?

I'm concerned about my vitamin D levels being low, and my doctor suggested I take UPRISE D3 60K once a week for the next 10 weeks. I was wondering if I can also take SevenSeas Cod Liver Oil capsules along with it? And if so, is it safe to take one capsule three times a day after meals?
Uprise D3 60k once a week is good. You can take cod liver oil along with that no problems but not three times a day. Only once a day after food is enough. Also you need to drink one glass of milk every night before bed.
