What happens to TSH when we remove the Thyroid Gland?

Ya for example an experiment animal, we remove the thyroid gland. My "theory" is that, if TRH is produced from Hypothalamus and it makes the Hypofize (sorry if I spelled wrong in my language) produce TSH, that make Thyroid produce T3 and T4, but T3 and T4 influence in increase or decrease of TRH, then if we remove thyroid, the levels of TRH should be decreased until stopped. Which is the right answer?

Blood test shows low thyroid levels. Dr wants me to take thyroid supplement. I’d prefer non med solution.?

Letter from Dr re: recent bloodwork says, "thyroid levels were low and you would benefit from taking a thydroid supplement. Please call to start med." I don’t want to take meds. I take nothing now and don’t want to start! I am a 57 yr old female, 6 years into menopause. This is first bloodwork in 4 years. I am a runner. No weight problem. Symptoms, if you want to call them that, are: hot flashes, slower/inconsistant running, some insomnia, little interest in sex, mild fatigue. All of which I attributed to menopause. Of course, I’d be happy to have improvement there, but they’re not a big problem.
Just got the letter so haven’t discussed with Dr. what the levels are and how I might benefit from the meds. Looking for info and homeopathic suggestions before I tell him I don’t want to take the meds.
