Thanks Johnny, I feel more reassured about the glandulars though I was talking to someone from Nutri-West recently and he said most people have to stay on thyroid glandulars for life kind of implying that once it's whacked, it's whacked!
Are you sure that's right...that the body picks up the slack when you finish and it doesn't become 'lazy'? Not questioning your knowledge (well I suppose I am really!), just trying to get my head round how they work. Maybe it depends on how long you've been ill for...me a lot longer than you if I remember right.
Throbbing thyroid doesn't sound nice so that's good it stopped....did it used to swell up too? Also did/do you have a low body temperature? Did you have any other hypothyroid symptoms or did you just assume it was knackered? Sorry for all the questions!
