Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Do you have any other symptoms of low thyroid function like constipation, dry skin, brittle hair, fatigue, etc? If this is the case, then I may suggest you do so. What dose of synthroid do you take? There is so much information that needs to be disclosed before I can make a final call on this. Ask this query again with the abve requested information.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services.
