I'm a 45-year-old guy with a pretty sedentary lifestyle since I have a desk job, and I'm dealing with hypothyroidism. My TSH is at 14, T3 is 0.8, and T4 is 5.9. I've been taking Thyronorm 25mg but not very consistently. I dont have a lot of physical symptoms, but I do feel lethargic and just can't seem to get motivated to exercise. Should I think about switching brands or adjusting the dosage? Also, is there a particular time of day that's better for taking this medication? And how often should I be getting my TSH levels checked?

go for thyroid test

I've been diagnosed with colloid nodular goiter and was told surgery might be needed for the left side of my thyroid are there other treatment options I could consider instead?

Yes, there are alternative treatments to surgery for colloid nodular goiter, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and radioactive iodine treatment. RFA uses heat to shrink the nodule, while radioactive iodine is used to treat an overactive thyroid and may also help decrease the size of the goiter.
