Symptoms suggest rheumatoid arthritis and hypothyroidism. See rheumatologist and endocrinologist. Treatment can help manage both.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test or Take a ANTI THYROID ANTIBODIES Test

Question

I am 41 years old and have been suffering from serious mental illness for the last 10 years. The medicines I take are lithium bicarbonate, amisulpride, Phendy Plus and the sleeping tablet zolpidem. I searched on the internet about these medicines and found that they are used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and parkinsonism. I want to know about ayurvedic medicine as I have not got any results from allopathic medicines.

Question

Hi, I am a breastfeeding mother with a 6 month old baby. I am currently taking 50 mcg of thyroxine, but my TSH level has increased to 9.395. Could you please advise on the appropriate thyroxine dose for me? I weigh 52 kg and am 30 years old. My report is attached.

Question

Hi. I have not been taking any medicine for the last two days. Before that, I missed Thyroxine for a week, then took it for two days. Now, for the last two days, I have not taken anything. I have attached my report. Why does it look normal? Am I normal or should I be taking the medicine? Just to let you know, I got my test done 2 years back and the doctor suggested me to take 100 mg of Thyroxine. I will be visiting my doctor on Monday but thought of asking here.
