hypothyroidism, after thyroid removal
"After my thyroid surgery, I was put on Synthroid.  I continued to get WORSE until I was nearly totally bedridden.  I did some research and after several months, found a doctor who prescribed medications other than synthroid.  I started taking a Natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) medicine.   Within two weeks, I woke up and felt like getting out of bed.  I continued to improve, however my strength never came back.  I am totally confined to a wheelchair now."
