    Hi

    No I havn't, but was on Levothyroxine since having thyroid removed 5+ yrs ago.

    But through that time hav had to adjust dosage a couple of times according to my blood tests results showing levels out of kilter. I have blood checks every so often in order to keep an eye on how my levels are. Do you have regular followups? This could be a solution perhaps.
