lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. The information given is inadequate. It would have been better if you had mentioned t3 & t4 levels (at the time of diagnosis), weight & height as well as lipid profile.
As regards high number of anti tpo antibodies, usually there is no separate medication to treat hypothyroidism caused by hashimoto's thyroiditis (ht).
I am sure you are aware that in a well controlled patient tsh should be maintained around 3 mu...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. As I understand you have hypothyroidism since 10 years and you are on 125 mcg. However, there is no mention of current t3, t4 & tsh levels. Because if hypothyroidism is under good control then all the symptoms related to that condition are in control. So if you are getting back ache and pain in legs, then there is a need to look at those values. If hypothyroidism is well controlled then one has to investigate and find out the re...more

Hello thanks for the query.
From the details given it is clear that your tgl and vldl both are high. But lipids are quite fine. Usually now a days unless tgl go very high fibrates are hardly used. Since you have been prescribed the same along with rosuvastatin, please continue the same for a few months and check lipids after 6 months or so. You have only mentioned the tsh level, there is no info on t3 & t4. Thanks.

I have seen the details mentioned. Madam please understand the condition hypothyroidism is because your thyroid gland is not able to produce necessary quantity of hormone (thyroxine), which is absolutely essential for majority of metabolic functions in the body as well as normal functioning of brain.

thanks for the query.
Hypothyroidism is a hormone (thyroxine) deficiency disorder, where person's thyroid gland is unable to produce adequate amounts of thyroxine (t4) and triiodothyronine (t3). Both these hormones are required for most of the metabolic functions in the body and also for normal functioning of brain. Therefore, that hormone needs to be supplemented from outside and that too for lifetime. There is no cure. However, if adequate dosage of thyroxine is taken the person remains ab...more
