i have a lot of the same symptoms and had a nodule and was told i may be able to get off of my thyroid medicine after it went away, but please be careful and don't just stop taking your medicine. Your body is not making enough of the thyroid hormone that is why you had a swollen gland it was trying hard to make enough but couldn't keep up. Your body has to have that hormone to function without it. If it doesn't have enough it can throw you into toxic shock and a coma. the side affects are terrible and I agree get to your doctor and demand help! But the side affects are nothing compared to what going without your medicine can do to you. i know i tried it and ended up in the er!

I am having so many problems with my thyroid...my doctor told me yesterday to just stop taking the medicine for a month and then come be tested. He cant admit that i may have some other problems going on. I didnt take my meds this morning and by this afternoon I starting feeling terrible then got very cold and shaky. I cant just stop cold turkey!!!
