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
As someone with hypothyroidism who had to go a month without medication because of being in between insurance policies, it was not good. I felt tired, fatigued, no energy to do what I enjoy, I had a hard time falling asleep and when I did it was tough to stay awake, I didn’t eat as much as I do. I did not feel like my usual self. It really felt like something was stopping me from doing what I wanted. My doctor wasn’t kidding when she told me the thyroid gland controls most functions in your body. Please take your medication as prescribed. Even if you forget, take it at the moment you remember.
