I'm a bit concerned about my high IgE level, which is around 900 right now. I heard it might be connected to some sort of food allergy. Can you explain what an overreactive immune system means in this context and how food becomes an allergen leading to histamine release? Is there something specific I should be doing or avoiding?

View allI'm wondering if taking L Montus FX and Medral 4mg for a long time to manage my dust allergy is actually safe. Are there any serious side effects I should be worried about if I continue using them? It's been a while, and I'm a bit concerned about the long-term effects on my health. Can you advise if it's okay or if I should consider any alternatives?
_Hypothyroidism Management: Next Steps_ Your TSH level of 14.33 indicates hypothyroidism. Consult an endocrinologist or a primary care physician for proper management. _Initial Steps:_ 1. *Thyroid hormone replacement therapy*: Your doctor will likely prescribe synthetic thyroid hormones (e.g., levothyroxine) to replace the deficient hormones. 2. *Initial dosage*: A typical starting dose is 25-50 mcg of levothyroxine, which may be adjusted based on your response. 3. *Regular TSH monitoring*: Schedule follow-up appointments every 6-8 weeks to monitor your TSH levels and adjust the dosage as needed. _Lifestyle Modifications:_ 1. *Dietary changes*: Ensure adequate iodine intake through foods like seafood, dairy, or iodized salt. 2. *Selenium-rich foods*: Include selenium-rich foods like Brazil nuts, fish, or turkey in your diet. 3. *Regular exercise*: Engage in moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking, to help manage hypothyroidism. By working closely with your healthcare provider and making lifestyle modifications, you can effectively manage your hypothyroidism and achieve a normal TSH level.

I'm dealing with allergic asthma and sinus issues since I was a kid. I usually take anti-allergy meds like Montair LC, Monlevo, and Motex LC. Right now, I've been taking just one Motair LC tablet per day. Could you guide me on the proper treatment or tell me if this medication is enough? Also, do you have any other suggestions or recommendations for managing this condition?

I've been having this issue where I just can't stop sneezing whenever the weather changes. It's even worse when it's humid or rainy outside. My nose gets all runny and sometimes I get these terrible headaches. It's gotten so bad that I have to leave work, take cetrizine, and sleep just to feel somewhat normal again. Do you have any solutions or advice for this?
