I had mine for 6+ years... had extreme weight gain (30+ lbs) with no known reason. The dr. was extremely concerned. I also had some mental issues- manic depression to the point of being on suicide watch a couple of times, my marriage was destroyed, and I come to find out it COMPLETELY destroyed my thyroid. Completely. I had it removed and my mood is better- almost a completely different person. I'm taking thyroid medicines and I'm feeling more alive. I can't believe what little information is let known to the public and how mis-information is frequent in the medical community in favor of treating a symptom rather than curing the cause...
