Re: Hashi's questions?

[Guest guest]

You should not have any antibodies at all. If you do you have Hashi's.

So if you had some there...you have Hashi's.

Agree with you about the endo..lol. That's pretty typical my former endo said

the same things, but at least he did say I had hashi even though my antibodies

were low. He tried to tell me I was over medicated too because my TSH was under

1.0. But my T3 was pitiful, my T4 was pitiful.

TSH always goes low on Armour. This does not mean your over medicating, but some

doctors also think this.

And yes, if your treating it right, the TSH should be suppressed. What counts

are temps, symptoms and Free's. But you know all this...anyway.....

saw the other day. lol, he also said because my TSH was suppressed I am OVER

medicating with Armour. NOT. IF you were treating thyroid deficiency correctly

wouldn't it BE suppressed if you are providing the hormones via

supplementation?? My basal temps are pretty consistently 79.9 and daily temps

are just now getting close to averaging 98.6.

I didn't know that, either. Call me stupid, I guess. No doc ever raised Hashi's

with me because my antibodies were below the scale, but they were still

there....

Why are they never high, even when I wasn't on any thyroid meds at all?
