I should mention that I've been required aby different insurances to have my thyroid checked every 3, 6, or 12 months. Most often is appropriate while dose is being adjusted. Be sure they do all the tests - T3, T4, and TSH, I think they're called.
Even after I specified this it was not done until I double-checked. It costs more so verify the results for yourself!
