Things are managed OK as long as meds are taken every day. It becomes just another one of those things you have to do every day-- like brush your teeth. I get up, take a pill- and then start my day. (over and over for the past 20 years and.... the next 20 years... maybe...)
It's like Echoes said-- the side effects are if you DON'T take the meds. No matter if you are hyper or hypo thyroid-- one will get effects if they don't take the medication.
and Echoes-- I think it's like you said--thyroid disorders are an autoimmune disorder-- I don't believe they are a result of an autoimmune problem -- they ARE the autoimmune problem.
