Brief Answer:
She has to take her thyroid medication regularly
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query. I've gone through the attached reports.
All the reports of your wife are well within normal range and there is nothing to panic. However, her TSH value is a little on the higher end. She need not increase her thyroid medicine dosage for this. Just make sure she takes the current medicine 100mcg dose regularly and on time everyday.
Her sleepiness throughout the day and night, could be due to lack of interest in daily activities and lack of motivation.
She is likely to benefit from positive reinforcement therapy. You may want to discuss it with her doctor or take an appointment for the same with a psychologist who can help her.
Otherwise, I see that your wife is in good health.
Please let me know if you need more assistance.
