Hashimoto’s and/or Graves’ disease?

4 Replies

Hi here is the last antibody test that I had a few years back.

The endo has only ever mentioned Graves to me and not Hashimoto’s, but I think they got it wrong.

My Endo said I had Graves too and I had hyper symptoms (weight loss, tremor, palpitations) & developed TED. However, antibodies now show I have Hashimotos. As I never had an initial antibody test to indicate Graves, members here have suggested that I’ve had Hashimotos all along. However, my endo and TED specialist ophthalmologist both think that I had Graves initially. I’m just going with the fact that I know it’s Hashimotos right now!

To confirm Graves you need TSI and/or TRAb antibody test, if positive Graves is confirmed.

Thanks SeasideSusie. One may have been done in 2013, but I don’t have the results.
