Question 1

What dosage of Thyronorm do you think I should take if my TSH levels are at 11.5? Should I stick to 50mcg or bump it up to 100mcg? I've been on 50mcg for about 16 years, but I've recently picked up a lot of physical activity and started a healthier diet. I stopped taking my meds for about three weeks and that's when my TSH came out high. What do you suggest I do now?

Accepted Answer

Given your TSH level of 11.5 and your history of taking 50 mcg of Thyronorm for 16 years, its important to consult with your doctor. Generally, they may recommend returning to your previous dosage (50 mcg), but they might adjust it based on how your body responds to training and dietary changes. Regular monitoring is key.

Question 2

I'm dealing with PCOD and some years ago, I took Zolfresh a couple of times. I got shivering hands back then and now, after so long, I took a 5 mg dose again yesterday, and my hands are really shaky. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Dont take that tablet anymore,consume more water and will settle down in a day,if it still continues visit Physician for appropriate management.

Question 3

I've been feeling really tired, sleepy, and even a bit down lately. My recent blood tests showed my vitamin D level is at 14.34 and my B12 is at 164. Could these low levels be the reason for how I'm feeling? What should I do about it?

Accepted Answer

Missing the 3rd shot and taking it later with the 4th shot might slightly increase the risk of rabies, but the overall risk is still low.

The prompt washing of the wound with soap and immediate initiation of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) reduced the risk.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends completing the full PEP course, even if delayed.

Monitor yourself for any symptoms of rabies, such as fever, headache, or numbness, for the next few weeks.

Consult your doctor for guidance and reassurance.
