A member asked:
Is it possible that even though a dose of synthroid worked for me for a while that it now needs to be increased ? i've noticed symptoms coming back
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The function of the thyroid gland is not stagnant and can change over time. If you have a return of more symptoms - please advise your medical provider. Take care.
