View allI'm dealing with a Vitamin D3 deficiency and my doctor prescribed some Vitamin D3 capsules from Mankind that I'm supposed to take weekly.

For a 20mm kidney stone, medication alone may not be effective. Consult your urologist or nephrologist for alternative treatment options. They may recommend: - Alpha-blockers (e.g., Tamsulosin) to help pass the stone - Potassium citrate to help dissolve the stone - Pain management medication (e.g., analgesics) Surgical options, such as lithotripsy or ureteroscopy, may also be considered.

I'm a bit confused about my thyroid medication. I've had thyroid issues for the past 3.5 years, which started during pregnancy. I'm on 25 mcg of medication. I recently got my thyroid levels checked, and my results are T3 108, T4 7.96, and TSH 1.31. Should I keep taking the 25 mcg or think about stopping it? I'm just not sure what to do next.
Based on these results, it seems like your thyroid levels are well controlled. I would recommend continuing with the same dosage of 25 mcg of Levothyroxine to maintain your thyroid levels within the normal range. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for regular monitoring and adjustments if needed.
