Question 1

I have full joint pain in my elbows, knees, shoulders, and other joints. At night, I am not able to sleep due to the pain. I feel very tired and sometimes have fever. My RA test report is positive. I also have a thyroid TSH level of 7.54.

Question 2

My hypothyroidism has been detected since last 6 years and I have been taking 75 mcg fixed dose of Thyronorm tablet with regular blood tests and check ups. Thankfully I have been able to maintain my TSH level in normal range for many years. But yesterday I got my report and my TSH level is 6.26 uIU per ml. I have been taking regular medicines. Is there anything to worry? What can I do to prevent TSH from increasing?

Question 3

My wife weight is 70 kgs and height is 5 feet 1 inch. Her T3 and T4 are normal but her TSH is on the higher side. Pictures of the report are attached. Can you please let me know what needs to be done along with a description of its complications? The test report was done from Thyrocare lab. Is it okay or should I get the test done from another lab? I am awaiting an urgent response from an endocrinologist. Thanks a lot in advance.

Mildly high TSH suggests subclinical hypothyroidism. May be temporary. Lifestyle, weight, and stress also affect thyroid. Monitor with repeat test.
