Thanks yes all TSH, T3 T4 have been normal all the time. My blood work has been normal too. My only issue is I can't gain weight since birth. I guess too much antibiotics in the first three years of my life make my gut bacteria lose
balance or possibly damage the gut lining. Even if my appetite is very good, I eat balance diet and i eat enough, still the same weight, and underweight.

You can have normal hormone levels early on in autoimmune thyroid disease. It’s called a euthyroid state, but antibodies are present and slowly destroying your gland. The thyroid antibodies are a separate blood test not normally run unless thinking of the possibility. Anti TPO and TG are the 2 blood tests for Hashimoto’s.
