Hypothyroidism: After being diagnosed with hypothyroidism and taking medication to replace the thyroid, and then stopping the medication, it would be helpful to have you retested to see the extent of you hypothyroidism. As the medication is re-started, this result will help is choosing the dose and how quickly it should be adjusted. The usual tests are TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and T4.
