Hashimoto

[Vivsavage]

Hi could someone please have a look at my test results please xxx

[Hidden]

You've tested positive - very positive - for antibodies. That means you have Hashimoto's. There don't appear to be any other results there - have other blood tests been done separately?

Hi I have but it will not let me upload my gp said my results are normal for antibodies it was my endo who asked for the test to be done but gp delt with it x

Hi Vivsavage, as LilyMay says, you are very positive for Hashimoto's which will be the cause of your hypothyroidism. Might be an idea to check out information on gluten-free diet as many members say it helps reduce the antibodies.

Have you had any advice from your GP ? Are you going to receive treatment ?

How do you feel? Are you symptomatic of being hypo?

Viv, use the yellow Reply button underneath the post you are responding to and the member will get an email alert that you have replied.

Your FT4 is high which is why your GP has reduced your meds. If you've felt hyper and anxious this will improve as the excess clears your system.

Looks like you were headed that way, but you aren't hyper unless FT4 and FT3 are over. Are you feeling less than great on the reduction?

[Vivsavage in reply to Clutter]

Only been on the 200 for 4 days so time will tell x
