Question

I'm a bit confused about my treatment plan coming up soon. My current weight is 64.8 kg, and my height is 169 cm, putting my BMI at 22.7. Everything I've read suggests I should stay at this weight. But in two weeks, my medication dosage is going to be adjusted based on my weight. It looks like I'd get 3 tablets if I'm under 65 kg and 5 tablets if over 65 kg. I'm torn on whether I should try to bump my weight slightly to around 67 kg or just stay where I am. Can you help me figure out what's best?

Hey, I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've noticed that I don't really have a beard or mustache, just a few follicles on my chin. I'm starting to wonder if this might be a testosterone issue. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Like, should I consider taking hormones or something?

Question

I'm concerned about my TSH level, which is 18.24. Is this considered dangerous? What does it say about the state of my thyroid? I've already done tests like T3, T4, and checked for anti-thyroid antibodies. Could you give me some advice on how to manage or control this?
