I have been suffering from hypothyroidism for the last four years. I take Eltroxine 50 mcg every morning, but in my blood test report which came yesterday, TSH is 7.4. How can I keep my thyroid normal? I am a working female and got married last year.

Hello, I have a problem with the results of my blood tests. My antithyroglobulin level is 4000, while the maximum is 175. My vitamin B12 level is 157, while the minimum is 185. I am really panicked and want to know if this is life threatening?

My test report shows that my thyroid level has increased significantly. Since September, I have been taking medicine to control my thyroid. I have been taking Thyronorm 75 mcg daily since last year. I have been feeling body pain for the past week, get tired very quickly, and feel that my body size is increasing rapidly.
