A member asked:
I have been hypothyroid for two years i have recently increased my metabolism by eating correctly ! is it possible my dosemay now need to be adjust?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypothyroid: Yes your dose may need adjustment. Most doctors taking care of patients on thyroid replacement request a measurement of your thyroid levels every 3-6 months. Get a request for your doctor to send you for thyroid levels and then contact him/her and see if things are OK or need change.
