Yes, you can live without your thyroid gland. I'm 17 yrs old and i was born without one. i take medication everyday to keep my body stable. I consider people with Thyroids very lucky. I've always felt out of the loop around people and i never realized why until i discovered it might be because of my thyroid. turns out it was.

but yes, as long as someone who does not have a thyroid takes synthroid everyday then yes, they can live without one. i am living proof.

-addition- I am 26 and I was also born without a thyroid gland. as said above you can survive without a thyroid if you are taking synthroid but if you are without the medication for 6 weeks you will go into organ failure and die. So it is very important that you take your meds everyday.
