Questions re: antibodies and T3

August 1, 2010

Thyroglobulin antibodies tests done before I started T3 only indicated a high

(out of range) Thyro AB test and low Peroxidase (because of thyroid removal).

Does this indicate Hashimotos disease or do both tests have to be high (over

range)? I am confused about this. I, too, have gone back and forth between

feeling very hypo and hyper. I could never figure out what was wrong because my

lab #'s seemed to be good. Then I tested for RT3 and that seemed to be the

problem. I am only about 6 weeks into the T3 only regimen so we'll see how I

feel at 12 week mark. My other question is, does anyone know whether being on T3

only could affect my antibodies? Just wondering whether I should retest those

also when I am done with this. Thanks for replies.

High antibodies = hashi's

Enough T3 will lower TSH and that in turn stops stimulating the

antibodies so T3 only treatment can help the hashi's.

Lower the antibodies like this and the hyper/hypo swings tend to stop.
