DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM
TASTLESSNES CAN BE DUE TO RECENT CHANGE OR ADDITION OF NEW DRUG PROBABLY THRONORM FOR HYPOTHYROIDISM
YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY BUT I SUGGEST YOU TO REPEAT THE TSH LEVELS IF ITS PASSED 12 WEEKS FROM THE LAST REPORT
TREATMENT STARTED FOR HYPOTHYROIDISM CAN ALSO CAUSE A DECRESE IN WEIGHT.. KINDLY REPEAT TSH AND MESSAGE THE REPORTS
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
