Question

My mom is 52 and both lobes of her thyroid are enlarged, extending into the supraclavicular space with possible retrosternal extension on the left side. The right lobe measures 4.6x1.8x1.5 cm and the left is 6.1x4.2x4.0 cm. The largest nodule is 1.7x1.5 cm in the right lobe and 3.0x2.5 cm in the left. Can this be treated with medicines or does she need surgery?

Question

I'm struggling with smoking cessation and could use some advice. I'm currently taking 75mcg Thyronorm and have been dealing with depression for the past five years. On top of that, I'm experiencing massive hair loss and obesity. I'm finding it really hard to quit smoking. Can you suggest some effective ways to help me quit this habit?

Question

I recently got my test results for Vitamin D, calcium, and B12. The results showed Calcium at 9.46 mgdL, Vitamin B12 at 436 pgmL, Vitamin D2 at 1.02 ngmL, Vitamin D3 at 17.9 ngmL, and overall Vitamin D at 18.92 ngmL. I realize my Vitamin B12 is on the lower side and Vitamin D is actually deficient. My previous doctor had recommended Shelcal, one tablet for 30 days, and Uprise, one tablet every week for 34 weeks, but I didn't end up taking them. Should I start taking them now? Is that dosage correct? Should I be taking these tablets at night after meals? Also, do you think I should take something for B12 for a few days to improve my levels?
