My mother-in-law has a thyroid disorder, she won't take her medication. What can happen to her if she doesn't


She has been non compliant for years and the Dr. has told her that she will not see her again unless she takes the medication.

Worse that can happen is she can die.

If she has Hypothyroidism, then here are the symptoms:
*thin brittle nails and hair
*weight gain
*fatigue
*decreased heart rate
*constipation
*feeling cold

If she has Hyperthyroidism, here are the symptoms:
*hair loss
*weight loss
*increased heart rate
*nervousness
*frequent bowel movements
*perspiration
*menstrual irregularities

I know those are symptoms but that's what will happen if she doesn't take the medication. After these, it will probably lead to exophthalmic goiter and then will eventually die. I'm so sorry that she has that :(

if its underactive she will get very tired and could lead to diabetes or eventually die, if overactive it is more complicated, why wont she take her medication, I have underactive and doc wont give me medication yet, still doing tests.

Death is probable, but not at once. More probable that she will get exophthalmic goiter.

she can die
