No more Thyroides

My endocrynologist radiated my thyroides 6 years ago I think to take money from my insurance.  He made me go everyweek to check me.  When I told him that I lost my job and I did not have any medical insurance he did not see me again..

When you say radiated, was it a laser or a liquid you drank?

If you have no thyroid, you can't produce necessary hormones... Are you on thyroid medication?  How long since you've seen a doctor?  How are you feeling now?

Are you in the U.S?
