I had a goiter on my thyroid gland and the endocrinologist removed 99% of my thyroid. I have been on synthroid and levothyroxine since then. I have discontinued the use of the meds for about a month or 2. I am concerned about weight loss /weight gain and other health issues. I have been told that you cannot live without a thyroid or the replacement meds. Was wondering if anyone had luck with the natural herbs.
