Sharon-1152,

Did you take T3 before your blood draw?

[Sharon-1152 in reply to Clutter]

Yes 12 hours before

Sharon-1152,

You are overmedicated in that case and I would certainly stop taking 10mcg T3.

Do you have a Free T4 result?

Thyroid peroxidase antibodies are positive for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's). There is no cure for Hashimoto's which causes 90% of hypothyroidism. Treatment is for the low thyroid levels it causes. Many people have found that 100% gluten-free diet is helpful in reducing Hashi flares, symptoms and eventually antibodies.
