I was on thyronorm 100 mcg for 1.5 years and got tested for TSH, T3 & t4 with very normal values consistently twice tested in a period of 3 months. Can I stop the medication and maintain health through yoga and fitness or should I continue the medicine? Please help!
Doctor's Answer
Hi,
Thyronorm is a tablet which is replacing your thyroid hormone level and even if your levels have come to normal, they are normal due to the drug and not naturally so more or less thyroid hormone replacing drug are life long and leaving the drug will slowly bring you back towards the same hypothyroid levels(you should be taking the drug).

It depends on the severity of PCOS, how well your homeopath handles your case, and how diligently you follow the treatment and diet. I would suggest you to go in for homeopathic treatment as soon as possible because PCOS is treatable and it should not lead to ... Read Full Answer

The problem can also be related to your spine but spine can never make such a big difference to your height.
The tablet you are taking is fine and can be taken for a few months,you should avo ... Read Full Answer
