I do have high TPOs 1,000 + and i think i am in storm zone now past couple of years. My tsh was 6.9 last June, then went back to 2.something zone. This year was in 6.1 and then came back in 8 weeks back to 2s..
Any recomendations ? I picked tons of books on Hashimoto...stil reading, taking supplements. Tried to talk to endocrinologist, but they only want to give meds, dont want to talk about diets or supplements. At least she agreed ok for now no meds until tsh goes above 7.5.
For symptoms - i do get tired, cold, hair loss, etc. My biggest one which i didnt realize is the symptom of low thyroid - is getting freq upper respiratory infections - sinuses, ears , lungs. 2 books that i read both mention it.
Anything else you would do since you mentioned you have Hashix 20 years.
Mine high tpos were discovered randomly when allergy md was doing array of labs almost 10 years ago.
Thank you,
Lena

You need to know the free t3 and free t4 number’s every time you get tested. Without those the TSH number is useless as you can’t tell what’s going on. Once you have all those numbers over a period of multiple testing times then you may be able to see what’s going on. I fought with my GPs for years about testing. Finally got my current general practitioner to start testing free t3 and free t4 and have now proven at least that there is an issue that needs to be addressed and finally got a referral to a endocrinologist. He was blown away by the bizarre numbers and we are investigating it now. He is suspecting MASH, but think it is a histamine disease as I’ve been having trouble with that and histamine can effect your hypothalamus (which in turn triggers your pituitary which then triggers the thyroid).
Sorry just realized now how old your post is. I will leave my reply as it might help someone else. I hope you figured it out.
