kate...Re: HIGH ANTIBODY LEVELS - (originally 's post)

[Guest guest]

was that your hashi score? if so, you need treatment. mine was the

same. high uptake on the iodine scan and normal/low labs. they just

treated me as hypo. then, 11 yrs later i test for hashi. you need to

find a dr that can support you and be mindful of the correct levels

your body needs to be at to work properly.

now, i didnt have much sypmtoms at that time. just increase in

appetite/wt gain, fatigue, hot/cold sweats. but it was enough to test

the regular thyroid stuff. wish they had tested for hashi then. bet

ya i had it then too.

good luck and let m eknow what happens.

ranges (although they are actually more on the hyper side of normal -

I can find no endocrinologist (out of 3 so far) that will treat me in

any way shape or form.

not the extreme fatigue and pain that I feel constantly. I thought

the constant low grade fever I started to develop almost a year ago

would make them do something and they just keep looking for other

causes (cancer, infections...) for that.
