Question 1

My thyroid function test shows TSH of 4.90?microIU/mL. I have been experiencing hair loss for the past two months, and my hairline has receded significantly. Could this hair loss be due to my thyroid levels?

Question 2

I have been having thyroid problems for more than two years and that is why I am facing so much pain in my arms and legs. This pain has been going on for more than two years. I have consulted a few physicians and orthopaedic doctors but still have so much pain that I am not able to stand for more than an hour and cannot walk much. My blood report is normal and my weight is not high. Since the thyroid problem was identified, digestive process has become very poor.

Question 3

My mother is 60 years old and has been taking Eltroxin 75 mcg for the past two months, as her TSH was 5.00 at that time. Prior to that, she had been taking Eltroxin 50 mcg for the last ten years. She recently had a thyroid test and the results are:
T3: 0.90 ng/mL
T4: 9.30 microgram/dL
TSH: 16.23 mIU/L
I do not understand why her TSH has increased so significantly despite taking her medication regularly. Please advise what steps we should take now.

Hello, my name is Kavya. I recently had a thyroid test done and would like to know if my results indicate any thyroid issues or if I need to start any medication. My report shows, T3 total is 129.5, T4 total is 5.00, and TSH is 3.85.

Your thyroid levels are within normal range. There is no indication of thyroid dysfunction at this time. No medication is needed unless advised by your physician. Repeat thyroid tests if any symptoms reoccur.
