I recently found out that there's protein mixed with my urine for 4 days and it got me really worried. Could this be a sign of something serious like kidney failure?
TSH fluctuation can be puzzling. _TSH Interpretation:_ 1. Initial TSH: 23 (elevated) 2. Mid-treatment TSH: 8.4 (improved) 3. Post-treatment TSH: 23 (elevated again) _Possible Reasons for Rebound:_ 1. Homeopathic medicine (B56 drops) effectiveness wore off. 2. Underlying thyroid issue persists. 3. Dosage or duration inadequate. 4. Other health factors influencing TSH. _Considerations:_ 1. Thyroid hormone resistance. 2. Pituitary gland dysfunction. 3. Autoimmune thyroiditis (e.g., Hashimoto's). 4. Iodine deficiency. _Next Steps:_ 1. Consult an endocrinologist or thyroid specialist. 2. Re-evaluate thyroid hormone levels (Free T3, Free T4, TSH). 3. Consider conventional thyroid medication (e.g., levothyroxine). 4. Explore lifestyle changes: - Diet (iodine-rich foods) - Exercise - Stress management - Sleep hygiene _Homeopathic Medicine Limitations:_ 1. Variable efficacy. 2. Lack of standardization. 3. Potential interactions with conventional medications. _Conventional Treatment Options:_ 1. Levothyroxine (T4) 2. Liothyronine (T3) 3. Combination therapy (T4 + T3) _Monitoring:_ Regular TSH and thyroid hormone level checks. _Resources:_ 1. American Thyroid Association (ATA) 2. Endocrine Society 3. Mayo Clinic Hypothyroidism 4.
