What you share is so important but often not realized by many. Going on thyroid medications when not completely necessary can suppress the thyroid and body’s ability from functioning the way they should. That suppression can become permanent. With consequences that aren’t always realized, such as fluctuations in levels that can cause symptoms like weight-gain.
So doctors not wanting to automatically prescribe thyroid medications might not be because they don’t care - but because they do.
