I'm a 45-year-old guy with a pretty sedentary lifestyle since I have a desk job, and I'm dealing with hypothyroidism. My TSH is at 14, T3 is 0.8, and T4 is 5.9. I've been taking Thyronorm 25mg but not very consistently. I dont have a lot of physical symptoms, but I do feel lethargic and just can't seem to get motivated to exercise. Should I think about switching brands or adjusting the dosage? Also, is there a particular time of day that's better for taking this medication? And how often should I be getting my TSH levels checked?

View allI'm really concerned about my wife's health. Her TSH level is at 8.16, even though her T4 and T3 levels are normal. She's just entered her first trimester of pregnancy, and I'm worried. What could be causing her TSH to be high while her other thyroid levels are normal?
That could be physiological in pregnancy,no need to worry visit OBSTETRICIAN and follow her advice

To lower your fasting blood sugar from 108-115 to the 90s without medication, focus on these lifestyle modifications: increase aerobic exercise durationintensity (aim for 150 minutesweek), incorporate strength training (2-3 timesweek), lose weight if needed (aim for 5-10% reduction), adopt a balanced diet with whole, unprocessed foods, increase fiber intake (aim for 25-30 gramsday), drink plenty of water, manage stress through yoga or meditation, and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night; monitor your progress

I'm really worried because during a recent medical check-up, they found nodules about 1-1.5 cm on my thyroid. I honestly don't feel like I have any health issues and have checked my thyroid reports twice and everything, including TCH, is normal. I'm feeling really anxious about this. What could this mean? What should I do next?
