When will I be healthy again?
The most common form of hyperthyroidism is Graves’ disease. This is a chronic autoimmune disease. Although the immune reaction can be suppressed by medication, a cure is not expected.
After removal, the inflammation is no longer detectable, but for this to occur, patients must substitute the hormones for a lifetime.

An exact duration is not to be given here.
