- You have to recieve replacement therapy because the thyroid is not there to make them anymore. Good health.
- You no longer produce any and would eventually fall into a coma and die without medication.
You usually are prescribed medicine which is a synthetic thyroid hormone. Some people prefer a natural thyroid hormone from pigs. You need to go for blood tests to determine the proper dose. It may take months to get the dose correct.
