Brief Answer:
Check the TSH level.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I would suggest you that the problrm is not with synthroid rather than with the dose.
You didn' t mention when did you check for the last time the TSH level, if it is more than 6 months i would recommend you to check it. It is within the normal ranges than is not the thyroid the cause of fatigue.
Regarding the concern related to hysterectomy, please give some more detailes and explain better your query.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
