I have no thyroid so I have to take a pill to give me the hormones that the missing gland does not. I got asked for how much longer I would have to take the pills. I replied that I could stop the moment I grew a new thyroid. I’m not sure if they caught on to the sarcasm.
Don’t answer if you don’t want to, but how are you finding thyroid free life? My doctor is kind of recommending it for me, but I’m on the fence (context: I have Graves’ disease, autoimmune hyperthyroidism)
Perfectly fine actually. I do get lethargic from time to time and I do need a nap on occasion, but that’s a small price to pay. My temper is way better now too. Any complaints I have are more to do with the surgery itself. I had stage 3 cancer so the surgery went well beyond the thyroid.
If you have the means to travel, I highly recommend The Clayman Thyroid Surgery Center. They pride themselves on leaving near invisible scars.
