Your thyroid is not completely at a total non-function state as yet. Depending what RAI dose was given, it could take ten years or longer for total non-functioning state. Until your thyroid IS at a total non-functioning state, med. doses will need adjustments.  I would give it a guess that you are pretty close to non-functioning.

Good luck!
