Hi Doctor, my mother (71 years old) has been experiencing a burning sensation throughout her body. Many medicines have been tried but they have not relieved her symptoms. Could this be related to thyroid problems? Can you please explain the symptoms of thyroid disorders?

A burning sensation throughout the body can be caused by nerve issues, vitamin deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances like thyroid problems. In elderly women, thyroid issues can also cause fatigue, mood changes, and temperature sensitivity. To confirm, do a Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) and check Vitamin B12 levels too, as both can trigger similar symptoms.

View allI am 41 years old and have been suffering from serious mental illness for the last 10 years. The medicines I take are lithium bicarbonate, amisulpride, Phendy Plus and the sleeping tablet zolpidem. I searched on the internet about these medicines and found that they are used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and parkinsonism. I want to know about ayurvedic medicine as I have not got any results from allopathic medicines.

Respected Sir, I am a 36 year old lady. I was pregnant last year and delivered by caesarean and got a baby girl as I lost my 6 year old boy earlier. I have another girl of 11 years old. Now after 5 months my period has not started. I tested and my TSH level is 14 while T3 and T4 are normal. During my pregnancy I took 50 mg tablet thyroxine. I am attaching my report. Please suggest me how much mg I should take now? I want to be pregnant again so please suggest me as I am in urgent need. My TSH is 14.03, T3 is 1.03, and T4 is 7.81?

My report suggests thyronormalcy, but I am experiencing some symptoms that concern me. My postprandial blood sugar sometimes drops to 75 mg/dL, I notice dents in my right leg, and my vision becomes blurry at times. Could you please advise if these symptoms are related to thyroid issues and what steps I should take next?
