Hi welcome to HCM
I can understand your concern foryour problem
.
I am surprised to know that a person on thyroid medication for 30 + years is advised by his doctor to stop it abruptly . It should have been gradually stopped if it has to be at all .
Anyway I suggest you to consult another specialist for 2nd opinion and get better treatment .
Meanwhile ,you can do Yoga ,pranayan deep breathing , neck rotation Laugh a loud at least 5 times exercise , bhujang aasan to rectify and strengthen your thyriod glands ,
and modification in you life style and diet with the advice of a trained specialist will bring positive change in your life .

Hope this helps solve your query

Take care ,All the best
