All of the above: Not a good idea to neglect an under active thyroid. The thyroid is a "master" gland that controls many functions of your life and is very important to be sure that it is working properly. Make an appt with your family physician ASAP.

Why: why you are off medicine having a blood test that showed you have normal function thyroid while you are on medicine does not mean you could be off it if you want to know for sure run a test now since you are off the medicine for seven months what te expect depend on the thyroid if you are back to normal nothing but if you still have low function expect weight gain fatigue hair loss constipation..
