I think the thyroid peroxidase antibody can be associated with either Graves

or Hashimotos but I'm not positive. It may just be Hashis. Since you are

hypoT though, I would say Hashimotos either way. I don't think you can be

hypoT and have Graves, but do not quote me on that. I have not done research

on it. I know you can swing back and forth between hyper and hypo with

Hashimotos. I found this, I don't know if it will help much:

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy

enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright

Thanks!

The link didnt go through though.

I was diagnosed with Graves and had the RAI, so that makes sense. I

dont think I swing from hypo to hyper based on symptoms, but ya never

know I suppose. Either way antibodies are treated the same, right,

just to get on an optimal dose of thyroid meds to make them go away,

persay?

Thanks again, resend that link, if you can,
