Question 1

My mother has had thyroid issues for a long time and she takes her medicine regularly. She works a lot at home but is still unable to reduce her weight. She has rheumatoid arthritis and because of it, she is unable to do exercise or any extra outdoor activity to reduce weight. Painkillers have side effects on her, so she is now taking Ayurvedic medicines for pain relief. Recently, I had her general health test done through 1mg. Her thyroid was slightly high and her WBC count was elevated, but not to the extent that needs immediate medical attention. She is coping well, but there are some gaps in her healthcare. She has visited different doctors, but things are still not improving. I am unable to find a correct doctor for her so that we can take proper care of her health?

Question 3

Hi, I am a 21 year old female and have been suffering from PCOD. I recently checked my thyroid function, and my blood report shows:
T3: 79 ng/dl (normal 60 to 200)
T4: 1.5 microgram/dl (normal 4.5 to 12)
TSH: more than 150 microIU/ml (normal 0.3 to 5.5)
Dear Doctor, please explain what my problem is, how it can be managed, and which medications I should take.

I recently had a medical checkup and found out that I have thyroid issues. What steps should I take now regarding treatment, tests, and lifestyle changes?
