No Thyroids

✨ A New Chapter ✨

If you’ve followed this page in the past, thank you. Truly. Your presence here has mattered.

I’ve started something new — an honest, unfiltered conversation about life without a thyroid: the crashes, the healing, the complexity, and the advocacy. It’s called:

👉 No Thyroid – No Roadmap
🔗 https://www.facebook.com/share/16Sm9hPR2k/?mibextid=wwXIfr

This space is for anyone navigating thyroid hormone replacement without a thyroid gland — and the reality that rarely gets talked about.

I’ll be sharing raw experiences, real-time conversations with ChatGPT, and reflections that go deeper than tips and tricks. It’s not polished. But it’s real.

If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, come join me.

No thyroid. No roadmap. No margin for error.

I haven’t posted in quite a while, but something occurred to me the other day when I was reading a doctor/researcher’s comment that most people are quite satisfied on T4 only therapy. And my question is, who’s counting? Who’s actually doing the count of the people who are happy and the people who are not happy with it?

I’ll provide an interesting example of that. When I was on T4 only as a younger person in the late 90s and early 2000, I repeatedly went to my doctor and said that I didn’t feel right. I had heart palpitations, constipation, fatigue, borderline depression, I just did not feel right ever. My doctor continually told me that I was perfectly normal with my TSH of 2 and there was nothing wrong with my “thyroid”, despite the fact that I don’t even have one. So who was counting me? Who was counting my experience? Nobody.

Or a “No Thyroid” flare up!

There are some things a lot of people don't realise about me taking days off for autoimmune thyroid disease.

Hormone replacement therapy has proven to be an effective and welcome relief from such symptoms, but is it safe? Does it cause breast cancer?

Meal planning can be challenging when you have no thyroid and it’s causing fatigue or brain fog. Here is one of my quick tips for planning that can help make it easier.

I thought I’d share a video to let you know what I’m doing to prepare for a new doctor

I'm chatting with another NoThyroid sister who is strugging with substandard medical care. They are willing to diagnose her with "Functional Neuorological Disorder" and "Parkinson's" and treat both of those conditions with medication. YET when she tells them all of her symptoms go away with a dose of 125 - 137mcg of T4 and 5mcg of Liothyronine, they won't give her that dose. She is heavier, and it is not outside of her weight based dose if she were on T4 only. And does not cause strong suppression of TSH. So what's happening here?

We have lost a gland, not our credibility nor the subjective experience of living in our own bodies. We need to be heard, and our care needs to include the newer understanding of thyroid hormone action in athyreotic patients.
