You can take Levo at bedtime as long as you follow the guidance of taking it on an empty stomach - in this case it would be 2-3 hours after last eating, and take with water only. Many members find bedtime dosing works better for them.
B12 can be two hours from Levo. Four hours away from Levo is for iron, Vit D, magnesium and calcium.
To reduce antibodies, supplementing with selenium and adopting a strict gluten free diet is supposed to help.
Antibodies fluctuate, so they can be at different levels of retested. There's not much point in retesting once you know you have them.
Good answers from Seaside Susie do I won't reiterate.
In a past post I've listed the things that have helped me to get Hashis under control, others have added too. Might be worth having a look. You must be doing a lot of things right though not to have antibodies present now. Levo won't get rid of antibodies.
Re inflammation in hip, if I avoid the nightshades potato, tomato, aubergine...my hip pain is so much better. Potato being the worst culprit. Maybe worth stopping to see if it makes a difference.
Thyroid peroxidase (TPO), is an enzyme normally found in the thyroid gland, it plays an important role in the production of thyroid hormones. A TPO test detects antibodies against TPO in the blood.
High levels of the enzyme can also indicate nonthyroid autoimmune-related conditions such as systematic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Type 1 diabetes or pernicious anaemia.
In Hashimotos or Graves' disease your immune system makes antibodies that mistakenly attack normal tissue so your thyroid gland gets attacked.
Gluten and Casein look like the thyroid gland to the body( molecular mimmickry) so in cases of leaky gut (most people with Hashis) when you digest gluten/Casein and it leaks into the bloodstream the T cells are sent to attack but then also mistakenly attack the thyroid too.
I like that read, (it's more positive I do struggle with the Very negative and worrying comments because I'm over sensitive right now )
The NHS said No antibodies in Feb and this private test of last week shows some, the P one in the range and the T one a little out of range
Does everyone get this at some point, can they really go away again?
I've come out in a cold and sore throat today and no energy at all, I'm debating not working even though it's for 2 hours only! I have a need to keep pushing myself it's in my nature but not keeping on top at home right now
I want someone to say pull yourself together! it's the anxiety and fear symptoms I have that keep vamping it up! I guess if you have a partner it is helpful for this : )

I'm taking half a 25 now, I cried a lot yesterday and amazed this tiny dose has made me depressed
I think when I know I'm not about to pop off il be fine haha. I have an active mind!! I go into myself a lot and it's such an effort to be bright for my clients etc
Haha I'm a libran and longing for some balance, equilibrium back into my life I haven't had it for years for one reason or another, or worse, because of THIS, I put the weight on in 2010!
Yes Ive lost a stone by healing gut and taking out wheat especially and almost all sugar
This site is pacific that you DO have a problem if tsh is over 2.5
But I am fatigued - but in fairness also my life has finally become easier since moving area last year, and I may also have this after effect thing when you can let go, having said this I e not functioned like I used to e.g. Housework and have felt no well being for a few years now
