How can you not be taking thyroid medication. The thyroid has to be replaced with medicine. You are no hypothyrodism.

I had mine taken out and I'm on medication.

I have half left in there. My numbers are high but doc said okay for now.

If someone has a lobectomy, the other lobe might provide enough thyroid hormone to prevent the person from needing medicine.
