Hi,XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
Please note that your TSH is 6.5, means your thyroid gland is not producing required amount of thyroid hormone.
That is the reason why thyronorm is given to you as supplementation. This is only supplementation not cure.
As of today we only treat thyroid problems we do not have cure for this,means with medicines the thyroid deficiency is corrected..
You will not put on any weight. No special diet is required.
Yes, your weakness will definitely improve and you will start feeling better.
Please take the drugs regularly and get your TSH checked again, one month after the medicines.
Hypothyroidism is not something that you should worry about.But, normal thyroid function is must for all the body systems to work normally.
You can take B complex for time being till everything gets in order.
Please visit your doctor regularly and keep a track on your thyroid hormone.
I hope this helps.
Do write again if you have something more to ask.
In case you do not have further query, please accept the answer.
