Brief Answer:
continue medications
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I read your message. As you are on thyroid medication, your TSH level is controlled & in normal range. Once you stop your medication it will again shoot up, So you have to continue the medications for rest of life.
Your Body mass index is 29.09 which reveals that you are over weight which is due to hypothyroidism. Arthritic pain in joints are common in VITAMIN-D deficiency & hypothyroid patients.
Your vitamin-d levels are on lower side. You can take vit-d supplements like d-rise XXXXXXX once daily with milk, sesame powder 1 table spoon daily, exposure to sun 15-30 mins daily which can rise your vitamin-d levels.
Get back to me if any query.
