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.
