The : The standard practice is to check a blood test once a year, because sometimes the blood test lets us know that the dose isn't optimal, even if the patient is feeling well.

Check it: Hashimotos worsens over time depending on where you are in the process. If you are on replacement therapy, it is recommended to follow the labs to monitor for progression.
