You have hypothyroidism and will now be on a lifetime of thyroid hormones to replace the ones your thyroid no longer produces.

If in UK, because it is a serious condition if untreated, for all other medical problems you wont pay for prescriptions. If undermedicated we can develop other, more serious diseases.
