Re: No thyroid, is it possible to still have antibodies?

[Guest guest]

It is possible to still have thyroid tissue in the thyroglossal duct <developemental tract from the base of the tongue to where the thyroid migrates to at the base of the throat>. I had that removed due to a cyst in 2003 and it had quite a bit of thyroid tissue in it, microscopic of course... If you can have the test done by your doc it certainly couldn't hurt

I doubt there is much opoint as there is nothing for the antibodies ot

attack, but I htink you can stil have them. There ARE antoibodies to the

thyroid hormones as well but I do nto think you can even test for those.

I was recently very surprised to read in Dr Peatfield's book...that some

folks were found to have THYROID tissue around, behind or attached to

their tonsils!

if that were the case...it could explain the presence iof

anti-bodies...since there is still thyroid tissue present altho not in the

usual place?

That would make sense, finding thyroid tissue there. The thyroid starts it's development at the base of the tongue and migrates during developement to it's final position in the neck. That is how people get thyro-glossal duct cysts <I had one shortly after being diagnosed with Hashi's and the duct was full of thyroid tissue!>
