I'm in my ninth month of pregnancy and my TSH level is 5.15. Should I be concerned about this? Is there anything I need to do or watch out for?

A TSH level of 5.15 during pregnancy is slightly higher than the recommended range, which is generally 0.2 to 3.0 mUL in the first trimester and up to 3.5 mUL in the second and third trimesters. Its important to discuss this with your doctor, as elevated TSH may indicate an underactive thyroid, which can affect both your health and your baby's development. They may recommend further tests and possible treatment.

My mom's 57 and she's been on omnacortil 10 mg for the past 8 years because of her skin Ellery disease. But now she's got diabetes and some BP issues, so the doctors said she can't take it anymore. Ever since she stopped, she's really weak, can't eat, and is vomiting. What should we do? Can you help us out?

sudden withdrawal from long-term steroid use (8 years) can lead to severe adrenal insufficiency, and the doctor may recommend a gradual tapering off of omnacortil to prevent withdrawal symptoms, while also managing her diabetes, BP, and skin condition with alternative treatments.
