Sweating, feeling tired, dizziness, feeling hungry, tingling lips, feeling shaky or trembling, a fast or pounding heartbeat (palpitations), becoming easily irritated, tearful, anxious and sometimes, fits.

Question 1

I've been dealing with this weird fruity smell on my breath and skin for about 13 months now, and my sweat has this strange syrupy scent too. My friend noticed it, and everything I read online points to diabetes. I had a full blood count done 3 months ago, and it came back fine, even with fasting. I'm really worried about thisdo you think I should see a doctor? I'm not having any other symptoms really, and I know I'm a self-diagnosed hypochondriac, but this just seems like it could be diabetes. What do you think?

Visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

I'm wondering if it's safe to take thyronorm 50 mcg alongside folvite 5 mg, since we're planning to have a baby. My TSH was 5.7 but has come down to 4.97 after taking thyronorm and some homeopathy treatments. I'm really curious if this TSH level is okay for conceiving?

Accepted Answer

Taking Thyronorm 50 mcg (levothyroxine) with Folvite 5mg (folic acid) is generally safe, especially when planning for a baby. Folic acid is essential for fetal development during pregnancy.

_Thyroid Hormone Levels and Conception_

Your TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) levels have improved from 5.7 to 4.97 with Thyronorm 50 mcg and homeopathy treatment. A TSH level of 4.97 is still slightly elevated, but it's within the acceptable range for conception.

_American Thyroid Association (ATA) Guidelines_

The ATA recommends the following TSH levels for women trying to conceive:

1. *TSH < 2.5*: Ideal for conception
2. *TSH 2.5-4.0*: Acceptable for conception, but may require closer monitoring
3. *TSH > 4.0*: May require adjustment of thyroid medication before conception

_In Your Case_

With a TSH level of 4.97, you may want to discuss the following with your doctor:

1. *Adjusting Thyronorm dosage*: To aim for a TSH level < 2.5
2. *Closer monitoring*: Regular TSH checks to ensure your levels remain within the acceptable range
3. *Folic acid supplementation*: Continue taking Folvite 5mg to support fetal development during pregnancy

I've had uneven breast size since I was young and it's really bothering me. Who should I talk to about this if I don't want surgery? What could be causing this and are there any non-surgical options to help balance them out?

Patching can help in early intermittent exotropia, especially in young children; surgery is reserved if patching fails to improve eye alignment.
