NSAIDS,aspirin,ibuprofen,naproxen etc can be taken by diabetics safely. Although, one should keep in mind that painkillers if used excessively can have side effects such as stomach ulcer, kidney damage.

Question

I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am struggling with the treatment. I've tried a few different brands of thyroid medication, but they all seem to give me headaches, make me gassy, burp a lot, and I just feel restless. It's really hard to deal with. Even when I try taking other supplements, I get the same symptoms. I've also noticed I can't drink tea or coffee or eat mutton anymore. My TSH level is at 150, and I've stopped taking the medication. What should I do?

Question

I'm trying to understand my recent Total BhCG quantitative report after our first IUI attempt. It says 1.2 mIUmL, and I'm a bit confused about what this means. We've been trying to conceive naturally for four years now, so this is all quite new to me. Could you help explain what these results indicate?

Question

I really need some advice on adjusting thyroid medication. Six months ago, the TSH level dropped from 8 to 6.75, so I thought it would be okay to lower the dosage from 25mcg to 12.5mcg. But now the TSH has gone up to 10.87, and I'm worried. What do you recommend for someone who's 51 years old in this situation? I'm trying to find the right balance here.
