If your grandmother is feeling weak or tired, testing for thyroid is a good step. Hypothyroidism is common in elderly and can cause fatigue, swelling, and mood changes. Treatment is usually simple and effective.

Hi, I have been experiencing severe morning lethargy and weakness for the past few months. Getting up in the morning is the toughest part of the day. My hemoglobin and calcium test results are normal. Please advise. Thank you.

My recent TSH test result is 3.42. I have been taking 125 mcg of thyroid medication for years, but I am still not getting relief and continue to gain weight. A doctor I consulted for back pain mentioned that the medicine I am taking could be fake, since my thyroid is in range but my dosage is high. What mcg dose should I actually be taking?
