Can you live with out thyroid gland or a synthetic thyroid?

Yes, you can live without the gland, but would have to take thyroid daily to make up for the lack of production of thyroid by your body. The thyroid is your bodies thermostat and it controls your bodies metabolism. Without it, you would become severely hypothyroid and you would eventually go into a coma and die. Your thyroid helps control your nervous system, regulates heart rate and blood pressure. The thyroid controls your bodies temperature and regulates the calcium in the body, which is needed for your muscles to move, including the heart. It also regulates calcium to strengthen bones. It is needed to regulate mental health and if you become hypo or hyperthyroid, you could become psychotic or severely depressed. As you can see, it is very important, and all mammals need it or thyroid hormones to survive. I have had thyroid cancer and no longer have my thyroid... I take synthroid daily to provide my body with the necessary hormones. Thyroid hormones are absolutely necessary to live.if you don't get what I am saying than no you cannot and do not ask again.

Can you take your thyroid med at noon after caffeine is out of system from morning coffee?

Most thyroid patients take their thyroid medication in the morning, and some take it before they go to bed.Prescribed thyroid medication will state on the bottle the proper way to take it. Typically it will say on the bottle to take one tablet in the morning, on an empty stomach, with plenty of water. It is important to take it with water, and on an empty stomach, because it will allow the thyroid medication to be absorbed into the bloodstream. It is best to wait at least 30 minutes before eating food. If you eat immediately after taking your thyroid medication,drink coffee, drink alcohol, or even add Metamusil to your water, this can affect the overall effectiveness of your thyroid medication. Doctors will note to not take antacids, calcium or iron within four hours of taking the medication.If you have any questions about when to take your thyroid medication consult your doctor.


What Thyroid condition if you take levothyroxine?

If you take levothyroxine you are taking thyroid hormone. The primary reason for taking thyroid hormone is to supplement or replace that which your own thyroid makes. Low thyroid hormone is known as hypothyroidism. Some physicians also prescribe levothyroxine if you have antithyroid antibodies. This condition is known as Hashitmoto's thyroiditis. The intent is to suppress your own body's production of thyroid hormone because this minimizes the attack of the immune system against the thyroid.
