I have been diagnosed with thyroid issues for the last 7 years and am currently taking Thyronorm 150 mg. I had a thyroid test yesterday, and the results are normal. Should I continue with the same dose, or adjust it?

If all thyroid levels are normal, continue 150 mcg. Sudden dose change can destabilize hormone control. Retest TSH every 3 months.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Free (FT4) Test Test

Question

I am having hypothyroid and I have my reports. I want to consult my report to start my medication and understand its effects?

I had my full body check up and all the reports were normal except for the TSH test, which showed a value of 6.000 while the normal range is 0.5 to 4.8, which is slightly higher. After seeing this, I found out that I have a thyroid issue. I am eager to understand more about it. Is it bad for my health? Will it last for a lifetime? And how can I get rid of it?

Question

My aunt is 43 years old and has been diagnosed with a thyroid nodule. Is surgery the only way to treat it? I was considering consulting a homeopath, can homeopathy help cure the nodule without surgery? Are there any naturopathy treatments or home remedies that can help remove it?
