I'm a bit concerned because my TSH level came back at 7.5 and my doctor advised me to take Thyronorm 12.5. Is this the right approach for my condition? Also, I'm a little confused about whether this means I have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Could you help clarify this for me?

Based on your TSH level of 7.5, the doctor's prescription of Thyronorm 12.5 tablets is appropriate. This medication is used to treat Hypothyroidism, which is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Thyronorm helps to supplement the low levels of thyroid hormone in your body. The dosage of Thyronorm 12.5 tablets is suitable for managing your hypothyroidism

I'm a bit concerned about some health issues I've been experiencing recently. A few months ago, my SGPT levels were at 100 and they've gone up to 114. I usually don't drink alcohol, so I'm not sure what's causing it. On top of that, I've been dealing with thinning hair, hair loss, dull skin, and acne. My hair on my head and beard seems scattered. I've also noticed a significant drop in the volume of ejaculation. All these symptoms started showing up mostly after I went through a tough breakup which really hit me hard and led to depression. Ever since then, I've felt drowsy and low on energy all the time. My memory recall isn't great, and it's like I have brain fog. I'm at a point where I'm considering taking organic multivitamins or supplements to help. Could all of this be connected, and are there specific vitamins or supplements you think might help?

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way, and it's understandable that a difficult breakup can take a toll. Given your symptoms, it's a good idea to consult a doctor to address both your physical and emotional well-being. Supplements like multivitamins can help, but focusing on mental health support and managing stress is equally important for your overall recovery.
