Question 1

My recent TSH test result is 3.42. I have been taking 125 mcg of thyroid medication for years, but I am still not getting relief and continue to gain weight. A doctor I consulted for back pain mentioned that the medicine I am taking could be fake, since my thyroid is in range but my dosage is high. What mcg dose should I actually be taking?

Question 2

I am 28 years old. Over the past few months, I have been losing weight steadily, and my skin has become darker. I also have minor sinus issues but no major medical conditions. My parents both have diabetes, so I recently got tested, but my blood sugar levels were normal. I work in IT with a stressful night shift schedule. Please suggest how I can gain weight and maintain healthy skin. I have never had any skin allergies in the past.

Question 3

Hello Doctor. I have been under medication for thyroid for the last 5 years. I am taking Thyronorm 25 mcg regularly. I have not done any tests in the past one year. As per the last test report done in February, the results were Serum Free T3 2.35 pg/ml, Serum Free T4 1.21 ng/dl, and Serum TSH 1.10 uIU/ml. Please advice?

Hi, This is my thyroid test report. Could you please review it and suggest what course of action I should take? This is the first time I have had my thyroid tested.

Interpretation depends on TSH, T3, T4 values. As you have attached a report, please take a thyroid panel test for accurate diagnosis. If already done, consult with report.
