Do you have recent thyroid hormone and antibodies testing results? Maybe you are still producing hormones, or it could be that 175 is too much?

I never knew that info was available to me at testing. I have been on this dose for nearly 10 yrs. I test about 3 times a year. Everyone in here talks about there levels and I have no idea about what mine are. I am always told they will call my script in when the results come back and they will see me at my next blood draw. What questions should I be asking???
