I ask because I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 12. When I was first diagnosed I was told I would have to be on medication for the rest of my life even if i decided to have my thyroid removed. After 8 yrs I got tired of being on medication and didn't want to do it anymore. In my opinion, the more you take the medication the more your body becomes dependant on it. I made a conscious decision to stop taking my mediction, I do not recommend this to ANYONE because this could of actually put me in the hospital. At that time I was in college and experimenting with drugs. I started smoke mary jane around the same time I stopped taking the medication. Exactly 1 yr later I went to my doctor who did the routine blood work, when I went back for my results I was cured. I was scared that I would be repremanded if I told my doctor that I had started smoking and never did. I have never heard of anyone being cured of hypothyroidism, have any of you? Especially from mary j?
