Dear Myra,
  I researched this morning about lactation and no thyroid.  Their is an 
article that was published back in 1955 from the journal Endocrinology.  I 
have asked our library to obtain the article.  I have not worked with 
mothers with no thyroid, but I have been able to work with clients and my 
own daughter who's thyroid was ablated with radioactive iodine. She is 
also a Type 1 Diabetic Class D.   She was able to make a full milk supply 
with no problem.. Although her Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist did 
obtain a thyroid study at 6 weeks post partum which was within normal 
limits.
Question I have for you is, did your patient have any breast changes with 
the onset of menarche or with the onset of lactation?

Regards,
