Hashimoto help, feeling defeated and desperate

My thyroid hormones levels are at lower levels of normal, although I have Hashimoto's with high TPO Ab and fibroids in the gland. The doctor did not initiate hormone replacement yet, but maybe I should, given fatigue from all other causes.

My Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody level TPO Ab is high at 190. I was wondering if initiating hormone replacement would reduce TPO Ab levels. Based on some responses, it looks like TPO Abs may go down with hormone replacement therapy.

@altabiznet They might, but I’m not a doctor. Is the doctor you’re referring to an endocrinologist? Usually they would know what’s best. If you’re having other symptoms, like fatigue, etc., definitely bring it up.
