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.

I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am struggling with the treatment. I've tried a few different brands of thyroid medication, but they all seem to give me headaches, make me gassy, burp a lot, and I just feel restless. It's really hard to deal with. Even when I try taking other supplements, I get the same symptoms. I've also noticed I can't drink tea or coffee or eat mutton anymore. My TSH level is at 150, and I've stopped taking the medication. What should I do?

I'm on thyronorm 75 MCG since last June for subclinical hypothyroidism, my level was 7.50 back then. I haven't checked my thyroid levels or seen the doctor since because I've been feeling okay, but lately, I've been experiencing back pain and sometimes I get blue vision. Could this be related to the thyronorm tablets I'm taking? Any advice would be helpful.
