many years ago when you had to have a whole body scan after surgery, you had to be off synthroid for 3 weeks. I was tired and my legs were in so much pain I could hardly walk. I felt weak and tired. Please go to any clinic you can and get help fast.
Yes, I agree, you could go into a coma and die, your body cannot live without thyroid medication. I lasted 7 weeks at the most, I was pretty hypo and felt like crap. I don't know about the lupus, but you must have thyroid hormone to survive.
Hi,
without a thyroid your body makes no thyroid meds. If you don't take thryoid meds your body will shut down and you will die.
I suggest you find a cheap clinic and get a new script for your thyroid meds. If you can show them your previous script, they should just be able to give you a repeat.
Not taking thyroid meds can be life threatening. Please do something about this immediately.
