Hello, I have been taking Methimez 10 mg twice a day for hyperthyroidism for the past 5 months. I also have a thyroid nodule. Last week, my blood report showed a high increase in TSH level. What is the solution to bring my TSH back to normal?

A high TSH while on Methimez suggests possible overcorrection to hypothyroidism. Dose adjustment is needed. Consult your endocrinologist for repeat T3, T4, and dose revision.

My son thyroid test report shows a value of 5.50. The doctor says he is suffering from thyroid issues. Could you please clarify whether this result indicates a positive or negative thyroid condition?

My mother is 63 years old. She was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and has been under treatment for a long time. Now she is also suffering from hyperthyroidism. Please suggest how to control it? she is taking Lenangio 20 mg, which cannot be given together with thyroid medication. For thyroid, she is taking Neo Mercazole 10 mg daily. Her TSH is 30, while T3 and T4 are normal.

Recently, I had a thyroid test. My T3 and T4 values are low, but TSH is normal. My hemoglobin is 10.5. I do not feel weakness or fatigue, but I am worried if this could be a serious problem, as I read it might indicate anemia. Also, for the past 2 months I have noticed pigmentation changes on my facial skin. Please advise.
