I'm a bit worried about my thyroid situation. I've been on Electroxin, taking 25 mcg and 50 mcg on alternate days, along with some homeopathic treatment. Recently, my blood test came back with a TSH level of 8.3, but my T3 and T4 levels are normal at 89 ngdl and 7.6 mgdl. I've had thyroid issues for the past 6 years and, initially, I was on 100 mcg of Electroxin. Over the past year, as I began homeo treatments, my doctor gradually reduced the dosage to where it is now. Should I be concerned about the TSH level, and what steps should I take next?

View allIs it okay to take fruselac ds every day for water retention because of my hypothyroidism? I'm worried about any side effects. I've been feeling more sluggish and noticed some weight gain because of the water retention. Are there any other remedies or home treatments I could try instead?

I'm a 51-year-old with a weight of 62 kg, and I've been on 88 mcg of medication a day for hypothyroidism for the past 6 months. I just got my thyroid profile results, and they show my T3 is 0.98, T4 is 7.93, and TSH is 12.58. What should I do now?
-It seems your TSH level is still higher than the normal range, indicating that your thyroid may not be fully optimized with the current dosage of 88 mcg. I recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your medication or exploring other treatment

I'm dealing with Spine Tb and I've been on medication for about 3 months now. But I've put on 6 kg in just one month and I'm worried because I also have a Grade 1 fatty liver. It's making me feel heavier, and I'm finding it harder to breathe. What can I do to lose some weight?
