Re: Is it Hashimoto's?

Yep. Hashi's. The antibodies are present. Did your doc put you on medication? Are you having any symptoms?

Re: Hashimoto's Suppression Therapy

My hashi's is suppressed with 1 grain of Naturethroid. The trick is to start out slow and with a small dose. Increase slowly over time and you will start to feel better. Going gluten free and taking...

Re: New Labs - Feel Like Giving Up

Your T3 is still in the basement. A small increase would help. Maybe to 50.

Re: Weird thyroid numbers

Smells like Hashi's to me. Hashi's in the begining stages can swing from hyper to hypo and it sucks if your having symptoms. I went a year on this roller coaster ride before things started to mellow...

Re: TSH Normal but having symptoms

IF by chance you have the antibodies for hashi's, you could experience BOTH hypo and hyper symptoms. I have hashi's and while your antibodies are attacking your thyroid, you go through a hyper phase...

Re: TSH Normal but having symptoms

You need more than just a TSH test. Sounds to me like you have what soooo many of us have or had a one time: A TSH obsessed doctor.
In addition to a TSH, you need a Free T3, Free T4 and antibody...

Re: When is the best time of day to take Blood Tests?

Re: Staying At Low Dose Too Long...?

Well I am not a good person to ask, because I increased my dose all on my own. Not advisable, but when the damn doctors don't listen, I had to take my own health in my own hands. Originally, the...

Re: what do very high thyroglobulin antibodys mean 17 year old

Finn is right. Both lab results are low. I know when my were low I felt horrible. I have hashi's too. Most of us feel better with a low TSH and higher Free T's. At least in the 75% range.

Re: Someone please go over my results - THYROID PROBLEMS

Re: Anyone gone directly from 30 mg to 60 mg desiccated thyroid?

Yikes. That's quite a jump. When I "bump" I only do it a small amount at a time. I take Nature Throid which is dessicated and I started at 1/8th of a grain, went to 1/4, then an 1/8 & 1/4 (whatever...

Re: DESPERATE for help! Think I have Hashi's but MD is NOT helping!

Hard to tell as you didn't put in the lab ranges.
I can see that your vitamin D and B12 levels are WAY TOO LOW. You need to start taking these vitamins right away. Post your lab ranges. That will...

Re: New to this, can someone give me insight, please

Re: High TPO THOUGH normal thyroid

I agree with Finnmaid. Please post your lab ranges as that will help everyone that will want to give you a response. Your TSH is a bit high. Anything over 3.0 is high. My last lab report showed my...
