Talking How often should I have my thyroid checked and does weight loss/gain affect it??
I am relatively new to the whole thyroid issue. My doctor did an inital 6 weeks blood draw after I started meds and then I had another in January. He said that my T4 was a little elevated, but not enough to worry about. That if I started experiancing intolerance to heat or rapid heartrate to call him.

Anyway, I have been working out and I have lost about 20 lbs since I started taking the meds. Does this affect my doseage?? I am going in for a pap in a month or so. I think I am going to request another blood draw.
