A member asked:
Why isn't my levothyroxine helping anymore? could my body be immune to it?

You might need more.: The needs of thyroid hormone for your body can change with time. If you are taking thyroid hormone and it's not 'working', you might need more or less, Seeing your doctor would help to decide if you need more or less thyroid hormone. Labs would help.
