,Val, ,

When your blood tests did not show you had the antibodies--did

your body say otherwise? Did you go through phases of being hyper and

hypo? Did your antibodies show up around menopause?

I only felt hyper ONCE in my life and it was the whole 6 years before my thyroid

just DIED. From 13 years old to 19 I was a rail. Weighed 98 pounds ate liek a

horse continuously and only slept 4 hours a day. Then at 19 my thyroid just

completely quit. I did not have antibodioes show up iuntil I was 40? and had a

hysterectomy (complete) at 27 years old.

My antibodies showed in saliva when I was first tested at the age of 38. I don't

know what you mean by fluctuating between hyper and hypo. I've heard that

antibodies will cause that.

That's interesting - I find when you start to query hypo people about thier life

long

experiences, many had hyper periods. Six years is a long time to be hyper. My

thyroid

went kaput after a year hyper, but I did fluctuate over the years very mildly

between hyper

and hypo.

I'd bet you had positive TSI antibodies during those six years, but you probably

weren't

tested for them.
