I agree. I discovered that i have a seasonal variation in my thyroid
requirements by monitoring my dose and how i felt (summer ~128ug, winter
~118ug). It may be that anyone who has their entire thyroid removed will
experience this seasonal requirements variation, but unless each individual
charts their dose/feelings, they will never know. Also, from the response
i received from my physician, this variation may actually be a known
behavior but most physicians write it off as 'un-noticeable' by most
patients. After much debate my physician now allows me control over my
dosage providing i don't stray to far from the variation i described.
