Thyroid hormones are considered master hormones responsible for multiple functions in our body and hence its imbalance can cause symptoms right from indigestion, constipation, weight gain, hairfall, abnormal hair growth, period problems, pcod, mood disorders and much more. Now the thyroid gland whih secretes the thyroid hormones (t3/t4) are controlled by the brain via a hormone called tsh (thyroid stimulating hormone). So just like a misbehaving child is going to be controlled by a parent/teacher, the tsh increases or decreases based on changes in t3/t4 levels. So an increased tsh level indicates that the brain or the higher managment is working overtime to keep the thyroid hormones in check. In your case, the thyroid gland function is decreasing progressively as time progresses and hence the efforts put by the tsh has to increase to compensate and balance the situation. Also the skin problems you said to be facing are most likely related to the thyroid dysfunction. So if your thyroid function is brought back to a healthy state i. E. Where it functions at nml levels on its own and doesn't need external help, all the symptoms will be relieved automatically. Here's what you can do. Find out what situations led you into thyroid dysfunction. Maintain a healthy diet and physical activity routine to avoid further health problems. Continue the prescribed meds until your thyroid function revives, as is possible with homeopathy. Avoid stressed - worry, anxious, angry, improper diet and inadequate rest. Happy to help!
