Do I have to take thyroid medicine for the rest of my life ?

Question

If I were to lose a lot of weight again would I still have to take thyroid medicine forever, it’s already annoying, having hyperthyroidism sometimes I’m just tired then even sometimes I just feel depressed or anxious, which I try to control but it’s hard.

Answer

Yes it’s an autoimmune deficiency,  your body absolutely NEEDS the medication.

Answer

Some autoimmune deficiencies can be corrected for some individuals. Your body never NEEDS medication. But medication can provide a temporary solution until the root cause of the issue is resolved. I would look into finding a naturopathic/functional doctor that can help you find that root cause. Improving your diet, not only to lose weight but to heal on a cellular level, has the potential to do wonders. Don’t feel hopeless or broken in any way.

Answer

Yes you do.
