Answers:
ha, what a coincidence!. i just had radioactive treatment yesterday!. if you stop taking your medicine your hormones won't be balanced and a lot of things with probably start going wrong with your body!. it wouldn't be a good idea to stop taking it, so you should find a way to get the medicine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

u dont kno the consequences of this and it cud seriously damage your life, also think about your family and how they wud feel if sumthing happend to u

I got my thyroid removed 2 years ago and now I have to take one pill everyday for the rest of my life!. It's called Levothyroxin!. And if you stop taking it, your hormones will NOT be balanced!. And your body NEEDS hormones!.


EDIT: If you stop taking it, youcould be raelly hyper some days, and not be able to get any sleep at all!. And other days, you will be VERY tired and lazy!.
