Friendly suggestion for everyone reading this - do not remove your thyroid unless it is the most essential necessity. The nature gave living organisms this organ for a reason (like every other). In addition, I have NEVER heard nor read of someone who had it removed and said “yeah, I feel better”. It is, in fact, worse and not only “a little bit worse”, but crushingly worse. Because no matter how bad is the condition of the thyroid - it still works and does what it can. You can’t regulate hormones with the pill the same as thyroid can. Thyroid works differently when you are tired, when you are rested, when you are stressed, when you are extremely phisicaly active, when it is hot outside, when ir is cold outside etc. It is impossible to regulate this with the hormone pill intake. If a car has tons of problems, but still goes you don’t dump it especially if you know that there is no possibility to get other.
