I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am currently taking 0.088 levothyroxine, but my latest TSH was 0.04, which indicates hyperthyroidism. I am feeling lethargic and am unsure if my current treatment is correct. Should I seek a second opinion from an endocrinologist, and what medications are typically used for hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism?

I ate about 600 mg of Turmeric two nights ago and have experienced diarrhea and slight yellowing in the corner of my eyes. Is this yellowing a normal effect of consuming turmeric, or could it be a sign of something more serious like jaundice?

My doctor prescribed me Percocet 10/325 and said to take 1-2 every 4 hours. I have taken 2 at 8:00 am, 2 at 2:00 pm, and 2 at 8:00 pm, and I am still in so much pain. Can I take two more? The paperwork attached to the prescription from the pharmacy says to not take more than 6 in 24 hours, but the instructions on the bottle say 1-2 every 4 hours. I am unable to contact the pharmacy over the weekend.
