This is far from a success story. The doctors did a thyroidectomy anyway. This patient is about to figure out that levothyroxine is the start of the misery of big pharma solutions to the thyroid. Doctors shamefully under treat the thyroid with these synthetic meds because of the risk of heart attacks. The medical community really does not understand T3/T4 and other hormones that make the thyroid function. Why did they bother with the ivermectin if they were going to slice and dice regardless?
I'm currently dealing with thyroid issues too, which appears to be genetic since many of my cousins have the exact same problem. I've been doing so much research and reading to learn and understand exactly what is wrong with my body and how to help it feel better without immediately having to resort to levothyroxine.
I implemented changes to my diet and lifestyle (autoimmune diet), started taking correct supplements that my body was seriously depleted on (after getting blood tests to make sure), and I feel so much better for the first time in 6 months!
I went to an endocrinologist anyway just to see if they had any other advice or protocol other than levothyroxine, but sad to say the doctor only offered levo and said, "There's nothing else that can help, your body will continue to destroy your thyroid, so whatever you're doing is useless." What a horrible experience! I was feeling better BECAUSE of the changes I made to my life, and yet the doctor blew it off because "only levothyroxine" is the answer. I don't doubt that levo can and does help a lot of people, especially those who have had their thyroids removed, but I wanted to at least try to understand my body, what it was telling me, and what I could do to help it heal.
Lesson of the story: doing your own research and reading gets you so much further than just relying on the industry to tell you "screw you, take this pill for the rest of your life."
Look for a naturopathic doctor. They believe in healing. At the very least, they can prescribe a natural thyroid, like Armour, while you work with them on healing. I’m have done this and slowly I’m needing less of the natural thyroid over time.

I've been trying to find one, they seem to be scarce where I'm at. Regular doctors are only glorified pharmacists at this point.
