I've been dealing with persistent high triglycerides for the past 1.5 years, and my levels are usually around 180 or 190. No matter what I do with my diet or how much I exercise, nothing seems to help. What could be going on, and is there something else I should be trying?

I am sorry to hear about your high triglyceride levels despite efforts with diet and exercise. In this case, you may benefit from medication to help lower your triglycerides. I recommend starting with a prescription of Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a dosage of 145 mg daily. This medication can effectively lower triglyceride levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. It is important to continue monitoring your levels regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance.

With a TSH level of 150, your wife's thyroid condition is considered severe hypothyroidism; consult an endocrinologist for personalized guidance, but typical next steps include initiating thyroid hormone replacement therapy (levothyroxine), monitoring TSH levels regularly, and adjusting medication dosages as needed to achieve normal TSH levels,
