Levothyroxine is fussy beta, it wants an empty stomach because chai and roti interfere. TSH tells the thyroid gland to slow down or speed up, like a stern meter-checker. Antithyroid drugs like my carbimazole quiet the overactive gland, a bit like fixing a faulty switch that's stuck 'on'.
But I'll tell you, the biggest lesson wasn't from the medicine leaflet. It was from forgetting my dose before a big Puja pandal wiring job—my hands shook so much I couldn't hold the screwdriver. That's when I truly understood what 'overactive' means.
