A TSH of 5.99 after stopping Thyronorm shows her hypothyroidism is coming back. The safest approach is to restart the same dose she was taking before, take it daily on an empty stomach, and not change the dose on your own. Her doctor can check TSH again after 6 to 8 weeks and adjust the dose if needed.

Consultation Required:
- Your wife's TSH level of 5.99 suggests a mild elevation. The exact dosage of Thyronorm should be determined by her healthcare provider.
Dosage Adjustment:
- Do not self-adjust the dose. Thyroxine dosing is individualized based on factors like weight, age, and symptoms.
Next Steps:
- Consult her endocrinologist or physician. They may recommend restarting the previous dose (50 mcg) or adjusting it.
- TSH levels should be rechecked after 6-8 weeks to ensure the dose is appropriate.
Symptom Monitoring:
- Discuss any symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, or cold intolerance with her doctor.
Ensure she consults her healthcare provider for safe and effective treatment.
