While there is no "magic pill" for thyroid disease, some factors may influence the effectiveness of your thyroid medication.

When you are first diagnosed with a thyroid condition, a prescription for medication becomes much like a prescription for hope.

There is hope that you and your body will once again work together as partners, that you can feel "normal" again...at least someday soon. There is a butterflies-in-the-belly kind of optimism that all will be well again and that the emotional lows will become poignant highs.
