I've been back on Amour thyroid and started to feel like the real me again, in early January this year. At the last check I had in March 2024, my T3 and free T3 were both on the higher end of normal; my T4 was good, but my TSH, as always, stayed around zero. My vitamins are good levels, too, and I'm mostly gluten-free, with no additives or preservatives, etc.
My antibodies have been on the lower end of normal for several years now. My current private endocrinologist is good with my TSH being around zero and happy with the rest of my results. I told her that my TSH had always been around zero since I had RAI treatment in 1979.
An enid ( NHS Dr who was acting as an endo - I later found out she hadn't qualified in endocrinology), a couple of years ago stated that since my antibodies were in normal parameters, I no longer had hashimotos but hyperthyroidism as my TSH was 0.01 on her testings. I was far from hyperthyroid as all my symptoms were hypo. so I fired her and went private again.
My questions are:
Can Hashimotos go away and become hypothyroidism?
Does it become dormant since the antibodies are low and can it flare back up? Or is it still there and she was talking nonsense?
Please share your thoughts, as I have no clue; thank you.
