So I was irresponsible and took Cynomel the wrong way for a couple of years. Anywhere from a nibble to a full pill each day while trying to maintain proper amounts of Vitamin A, E, D, calcium to phosphate ratio, etc. I was also traveling abroad and took OTC levothyroxine in Thailand. Definitely experiencing some of the negative side effects even a year after stopping (insomnia, heat intolerance, frequent urination, irritability from lack of sleep, etc). Got tested and my dr said my thyroid levels were "low" and told me he could treat me as if I was hypo if I wanted. I declined.
I was stupid. Now I'm paying for it. Now I'm wondering what options are available other than being dependent on thyroid medication the rest of my life.
Has Peat and co. mentioned what happens when someone stops taking thyroid medication? Does the thyroid naturally return to normal production or is this one of those scenarios where the body just stops producing if it has too much outside assistance?
Thanks for any relevant or helpful information!
