Hi,
You need to get fresh thyroid function tests in order to know the correct status of functioning of your thyroid gland. Treatment will be started accordingly and you will be asked to get follow up TFTs after 6 weeks again and then after every 3 months. So the first thing to do is to get fresh TFTs.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
