Question

I'm really worried because I've been eating raw rice for the past six months and can't seem to stop. I've also noticed my body weight and blood sugar levels are going up quickly. What could be causing this, and how can I break this habit?

Question

I'm feeling like there's too much heat in my body even though my temperature is normal, and it's really strange because I never sweat. Do you have any idea which kind of specialist I should see for this problem?

Question

I'm really worried after getting my wife's TSH test results. Her T3 is 1.15, T4 is 77.2, and TSH is 42.14. But the weird thing is, she doesn't show any obvious symptoms other than having an irregular menstrual cycle a couple of times and sometimes being irritable. I read up a bit online and saw that hypothyroidism usually means the gland is underactive and shrunk, but hers seems inflamed. She hasn't gained or lost weight and isn't experiencing hand tremors, but she does get tired during the day and has had mood swings recently. I'm trying to make sense of this is it definitely thyroid-related even though her T3 and T4 are normal? Could it be thyroiditis or maybe subclinical thyroid issues? I'd really appreciate some guidance on what might be going on, its root cause and if its treatable. Also, is this something urgent? We're in a pretty remote area, so I'm a bit concerned.

Question

I really need some advice on adjusting thyroid medication. Six months ago, the TSH level dropped from 8 to 6.75, so I thought it would be okay to lower the dosage from 25mcg to 12.5mcg. But now the TSH has gone up to 10.87, and I'm worried. What do you recommend for someone who's 51 years old in this situation? I'm trying to find the right balance here.
