Question 1

I experienced heavy menstruation for two consecutive months, and my blood test showed that my TSH level was elevated to 7.2 microIU/mL. Following a friend medical advice, I have started taking Thyroxine Sodium 25 mcg tablets. Will this treatment help normalize my next menstrual cycle, or will I also need hormonal therapy? I am concerned about the possible side effects of hormonal treatment, such as weight gain. Please advise the best approach. I am attaching my reports for your review.

Question 2

I have been suffering from tiredness for the last 20 days. My blood report shows T3 3.17 nmol per L, TSH 11.01 uIU per L, and T4 is normal. My weight is increasing and I feel sleepy all day. The doctor has prescribed Thyrox 25 McLeods and Amitriptyline HCl 10 mg. Is it okay to take this medicine or should I consult another specialist. Please suggest what food to eat to recover and how much time it will take to recover completely?

Question 3

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.

I have been experiencing skin rashes on and off for the past 3 months and used Montair LC or Cetirizine whenever they appeared. When I visited a dermatologist, he prescribed an anti allergic medication for a month and suggested some tests. In those tests, my TSH came out as 7.5 microIU/mL.

TSH 7.5 is mildly high. May indicate subclinical hypothyroidism. Not alarming but needs monitoring. Repeat Thyroid Profile in 6 to 8 weeks. Consult doctor if rashes continue.
