Answers:
Technically you COULD, but I can't imagine a doctor removing your thyroid unless you have cancer or nodules on there that are growing beyond what can be managed!. I am being checked for hyperthyroidism this Monday, I know it must be frustrating!.

You might try telling your doctor that the fluctuating hormones are really bothering you and see if there is something else he can do to help that he isn't doing!. He doesn't know to try it if you don't let him know there is a problem!

Yes, it sucks!. Sadly they only kill the thyroid (radiation therapy) if you have hyperthyroidism!. I have heard of people getting their parathyroid removed though!. You can talk to your doc about going on a different drug!. I've heard people say they like Armor thyroid (pig hormones) and they feel more metabolically regular!. What helps for me is going running everyday and eating a lot of fruit (sorry this sounds cliche), but it really does help to get a lot of antioxidants in your diet!. You'll feel better!. best of luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
