I have no thyroid (it was surgically removed due to lumps in it) and am wondering what will happen to my body if I stop taking the medicine that replaces its function.
In: 26
I have had a slow thyroid (TSH greater than 30) my entire life but was only relatively recently diagnosed in 2013 at age 23. I just can’t even begin to describe what the meds did for me. The overwhelming exhaustion being gone was huge. Now my TSH sits at a much better 6. I’ve experienced most symptoms that others have mentioned, but I still have my thyroid. It just is terrible at its job.
