medication after total thyroidectomy
After total thyroidectomy, if I am on my correct synthroid dosage, acccording to blood work, can my thyroid levels change over the years? if so, what factors can change them? I am same weight and take no otc meds after 1 1/2 yrs post surgery. Do I need regular bloodwork checks?

Once stable, most patients have annual testing as age, weight, medications, source of levothyroxine (ie brand vs generic) may alter your requirements.
What specific tests do you order for routine annual testing of total thyroidectomy patients? And since I have also had a total hysterectomy and oophrectomy in the last 3 years would that impact my thyroid levels and dosing? If so, in what way?
