Just received this result:
Thyroid peroxidase Ab conc
932 iu/mL (0.00 - 6.00iu/mL
I am currently on Levothyroxine 125mg
Loading dose of Vit D 4,000iu daily
Starting B12 loading injections on Monday.
Any thoughts or advice on how to reduce the antibodies would be much appreciated.
I need to see an NHS thyroid specialist. I live in South of England and could travel to London. Any recommendations who to see would be really helpful.
The ability to reply to this post has been turned off.
To reduce the antibodies, which attack your thyroid gland until you are hypothyroid, is by going gluten-free. Research has shown that it reduces the antibodies.
If anyone has the name of a Specialist they will have to send you a Private Message as no information is permitted on the Forum.
If you email dionne.fulcher@thyroiduk.org.uk and ask for a copy of their recommended doctors and one may be near you.
I will close your post for comments on the open forum and those who have any information will send you a Private Message.
SmPea,
Thyroid peroxidase antibodies are positive for autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's). There is no cure for Hashimoto's which causes 90% of hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine 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.
