This paper proves that TSH normalisation after treatment for hyperthyroidism is slow and uncertain and therefore TSH is unsuitable to monitor response

Interesting! Do you know if any studies that show this happening in graves disease patients who are simply in remission (ie they have not undergone a thyroidectomy)?
