Brief Answer:
Repeat Thyroid exam testing

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

I understand your concern.

I have gone through your reports as well.

You possibly seem to have inadequate thyroxin dose related symptoms.

I advise you to get a repeat thyroid exam testing.

Many of your symptoms will get controlled with adjusting the dose.

Limit the intake of antibiotics .

Daily intake of vitamin D like Calcitriol 0.25mg and Calcium 500 mg for 3 month will increase the bone strength.

You need this supplementation since you have been operated for uterus and ovary which can impair calcium metabolism.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.

Welcome again,

Yes you can continue all your medications as suggested by your doctor.

Get your eye examined by an ophthalmologist to look for any lacrimal gland obstruction.

Meanwhile use Refresh tears eye drops to avoid drying of eyes.
