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?

View allI've been seeing doctors for my thyroid and cervical spondylitis issues, and during my recent visits, they found my lipid levels are off - my triglycerides are high at 200, my HDL is low, and my LDL is high. The endocrinologist recommended some diet and exercise changes, and the neuro physician prescribed STORVAS 10 mg to help control my lipid levels alongside my spondylitis meds. However, when I visited a gastroenterologist for a routine check-up, they told me not to start any cholesterol meds since Id need to take them for life. I feel stuck and unsure about what to do. Could you help me figure out whether I should start the meds or not?
