If my doctor said I had thyroid disease and prescribed me thyroid medicine, should I absolutely take it?

Question

Accepted Answer

Common sense here...

Answer

Why go to the doctor if you’re not going to follow their diagnosis and prescription?

Answer

Um... why would you not??

Answer

Probably wouldn’t have prescribed you a medication to treat a problem if they didn’t think you needed it......

Answer

Because totally ignoring the condition treatment is a smart decision.
Get a second opinion if you feel like your doctor isn’t being completely honest but if that second opinion confirms the first one then if you don’t take the meds you are asking for major issues.
But going to a doctor and getting a diagnosis and treatment but not listening because you don’t want sounds ridiculous

Answer

If you want or get a second opinion or see a holistic doctor. 100% your choice

Answer

Why would bother going to the doctor to find a solution and then not using that solution?

Answer

Please listen to your doctor over strangers on the internet...

Answer

I probably would research holistic health approaches. I believe there are often times non pharmaceutical options available and changes that can be made to lifestyle and diet in replace of orrrrrrr in addition to pharmaceuticals. I just think the medicines focus on one part if the body and reading disclaimers say they potentially destroy other parts🧐🤔.

Answer

I’ve been taking thyroid medication for 12 years. Definitely take it if you’ve been diagnosed..
