Yes richard123 you have Hashimoto's. These links should help you understand:

Adopting a strict gluten free diet helps reduce the antibody attacks, as does a suppressed TSH and supplementing with selenium L-selenomethionine 200mcg daily.

The aim of a treated hypo patient is for TSH to be 1 or below or wherever it is needed to be for FT4 and FT3 to be in the upper part of their respective reference ranges if that is where you feel well.
