Can you stop T3 after a few years and have a normal thyroid?

[Guest guest]

I'm now wondering about this. My Aunt said she took Synthroid for several years

and then her doctor said she didn't need it anymore and stopped her treatment.

That was 20 years ago and she said she's fine. He checks her thyroid once a

year.

I'm wondering about this. If someone is on thyroid treatment for a few years

does the thyroid gland shut down completely and then not return to normal

functioning? She said she is fine. She did get leukemia though and I " ve wondered

if it was because she stopped thyroid treatment.

Depends what caused her to be hyp ointhe first place. MOST hypothyroid

people have Hashi's. I htink the last I read it was about 85% If you

have Hashi's NO it is progressive and wil only get worse iuntil the

gland stops funciotning at all. If oy uhave temporary low thyroid say

fomr illness or stress it can come back and function fine.
