Question 1

I'm looking at my thyroid test results and I'm a bit concerned. My thyroxine T4 is 14.8 ugdl, triiodothyronine T3 is 228 ngdl, and my TSH is really low at 0.01. Can you tell me what stage my thyroid levels are at and what I can do to manage or treat this thyroid issue? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what these numbers mean for my health.

Question 2

I'm feeling kind of worried because my face has been really warm for a few days now. It's not turning red or anything, and there's no flashing, but it's really uncomfortable. I also noticed my body's warm too, but I don't have a fever or sweating. What could be causing this?

Question 3

I've had this sore wound on my back for over 3 years that just won't heal. My homeo doctor recommended minor surgery to remove it, but I'm wondering if there are other treatment options without going under the knife. My blood sugar is around 300 - does that affect the healing? If surgery is really the only way, which specialist should I see for this?
