Hashimotos Disease?

Posted by lluth412 @lluth412, May 23, 2025

Hi all,

I am normally in the lung health group as I have CEP, a rare lung disease caused by eosinophils. I also have adult onset asthma and sinusitis. I saw a functional medicine Dr last month to see if there are other ways to be healthier and manage my disease. The blood work she did showed my Thyroid Peroxidase TPO at 396 so very high. My TSH is normal and my T3 Free is borderline normal (2.3) as is Free T4 (1.01). I’ve been on prednisone for over a year but in a low dose currently. The functional Dr is very expensive since it’s not covered by insurance. Do I need to send these results to my GP for a referral to an endocrinologist? As background I had Graves’ disease in my 40’s but managed it through diet and meds and I’ve been in remission for almost 15 years without meds.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

Mine was only at 70 but I demanded to have one whether they wanted to order or not. If not I would be contacting my insurance company
