thyroid storm--verrrry bad, dont abruptly stop your medication,

YOU CANNOT JUST STOP TAKING SYNTHROID!!! IT IS FOR HYPOTHYROIDISM- AN UNDER ACTIVE THYROID- IT CAN LEAD TO NOT SO BAD THINGS LIKE - DRY SKIN - LOSING HAIR, TIREDNESS, AND REALLY BAD THINGS LIKE A FIB- ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, OTHER HEART ARRHYTHMIA'S, AND WORSE- GET YOUR Rx REFILLED! now go DO IT NOW!!

I am not trying to scare you, but I am concerned. My Aunt Mary Rose - who has gone on to a better place - died from thyroid complications. She was in her 30's when she stopped her synthroid, by her mid 40's she was collapsed on her apartment floor on the brink of death (she'd been there 3 days). The doctors told us that from not taking care of her thyroid - all major organs suffered, mainly the kidneys. Before she passed away she was ready to start dialysis, but died of a heart attack because of all the stress on her organs - all from one lil' organ called the thyroid. Please, please take your medicine, she was too young to die.
