Hmmn... if they are the same thing, I wonder why I was able to get both plus

the TBII one time - the results looked like this, so they obviously measure

something differently - same antibodies, different measure? Aldyth, I don't

get all the different antibodies either, don't feel bad.

TSI: 501 H % (range <130%)

TRAB (TSH Receptor Antibody): 24 H % (<10 %)

TBII: 29.0 H % (range <10%)
