Which is the best decision to live with thyroid either to take medication for whole life or to go for surgery....tq

[Barb135]

If he has surgery, he will then be hypo and will have to take a different pill, for the rest of his life, to replace the hormones his thyroid would normally make, because one can not live without thyroid hormones.

That's why I said "either way, he will have to take a medication for life".  

[muzzymusa]

Yeah....always...but to put yourself on med for life...it's tough to maintain ....am trying to find other way if there is.....

[Barb135]

Is he on anti-thyroid med?

[muzzymusa]

Tq barb135....Well...it's my hubby...and he had confirmed  thyroid since 2009.....it's hyper...

Either way you will have to take a medication for life.  Once you have no thyroid, you will have to take replacement medications.

What is your particular problem?  Hyper, hypo?
