Why am I so thirsty all of a sudden?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Thirst is normally just the brain's way of warning that you're dehydrated because you're not drinking enough fluid. But excessive and persistent thirst (known as polydipsia) could be a sign of an underlying problem such as diabetes.

View allI accidentally took a double dose of my thyronorm 150 mcg today. What should I do about my next dose? Should I skip it, or is there something specific I should keep an eye out for? I'm a bit unsure about the next steps.
no issue

I'm really concerned because my TSH level is 4.01, but I haven't had any issues with my periods; they come every 30 days like clockwork, and I've had no other thyroid symptoms before. My doctor put me on Thyronorm 25mcg, and now I'm experiencing some worrying changes. My periods are delayed, and Im constantly feeling exhausted and down, almost like I'm a bit depressed all the time. Are these side effects from the medication? What should I do next?

I'm curious if switching from my regular Thyrofit 50 medication to homeopathy could possibly cure my thyroid problem for good. I've been dealing with this for about 4 years now. Is a permanent cure really possible with homeopathy?
