    I have only one thyroid, the other was taken surgically in 1978 and the present endocrinologist says I don’t need any medication but I have lost my smell and taste and am tired all the time I am only 70 and I expect to feel better than I do but I just drag and am unable to go shopping. HELP !!!!

    Yes, it is possible, in fact even likely that you might suffer a negative side effect from most things your doctor can offer. Medications all have side effects, sometimes of the worst kind. Look at preventing illness with proper diet, exercise, sleep, mental exercise and the care of a chiropractor who can guide you in these.
