When treating hyperthyroidism, patients have three options: surgery, medications, and isotope therapy. With surgery and isotope therapy, the chance of recurrence of hyperthyroidism is reduced, but the chance of hypothyroidism (“hypothyroidism”) is increased. Many patients abandon these two simple treatment options because they are concerned about the need for lifelong thyroxine replacement therapy in the future. In the end, the course of hyperthyroidism is prolonged and even cardiovascular complications and liver and kidney damage occur, leading to life-threatening hyperthyroid crisis. In foreign countries, many patients with hyperthyroidism are treated with larger doses of isotopes to completely destroy the thyroid gland and cure the hyperthyroidism completely, and then given long-term thyroxine replacement therapy. Thyroid hormone replacement therapy is different from other medications. By taking the medication regularly over a long period of time, a fully physiological state can be achieved. In other words, taking thyroxine plays exactly the same role as the body’s own secretion of thyroxine, there are almost no side effects from long-term medication, and an occasional missed dose of medication causes little or no damage. At present, from a medical point of view, there are very few diseases that can actually be cured. Diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, liver cirrhosis, chronic bronchitis, coronary heart disease, chronic gastritis, chronic kidney failure, etc., which of them can be cured? If we thought “if we can’t cure them, we don’t need to treat them”, then the world population would be reduced by half. It is clear that the key is how to look at diseases, how to establish the correct “disease concept” to fight diseases, and to form a good “human disease coexistence” situation. The author believes that if people can live and work normally by taking medicine, they should consider themselves as a normal person, not a patient. Taking medication for illness is as easy and essential as eating and bathing every day. They are a part of your life. With this part, we taste the pain of “life, old age, sickness and death”, and the hardship and preciousness of life. Strictly speaking, only those patients who “have no cure and whose life may end at any moment” are “real” patients, those who are truly deserving of God’s and our compassion. So, rejoice that you can live a happy and healthy life by taking only one pill a day. Taking medication for life is as simple as needing to eat and drink water for life. Don’t think of it as a burden, because if you find it troublesome to take even this simple health treatment, more serious disease complications will bite you and give you more trouble in the future.
