Hashimoto's?????

You may well be hypothyroid. Your high antibodies indicate autoimmune disease. You're better off spending your time treating your immune system since thyroid treatment only seems to be effective when TSH is elevated and T4 is low.

Besides treating your immune system, you might want to look into ebstein barr virus.

Read up on Glutathione. It helps lower thyroid antibodies and detox body, etc.

Jennifer, the est supplement support I've found id essential amino acid complex. The amino acid supplements provide the protein nutrients required for your body to make thyroxin. I found it to be more effective than any medication.

I tried glutathione alone in several different forms. Didn't find it helpful.

what was your tsh?

Autoimmunity depletes Glutathione levels and raising Glutathione levels will lower autoimmunity.and may even prevent further attacks. The reduced Glutathione or acetyl Glutathione. w vit C do get absorbed. very well. Depleted Glutathione. levels can also affect mitrochondria energy production. Having thyroid antibodies inflames your body and destroys your thyroid gland. so you may not be hypothyroid yet, but your body is feeling the autoimmue attack. Actually low dose Synthroid can lower auto antibodies and prevent further gland damage in many (but not all) and prevent the occurrence of hypothyroidism. It's.up to your doctors if they will prescribe it for you but endos should be well aware how Rxg Synthroid can prevent hypothyroidism in people with TPO antibodies.without being hypothyroid. I am not sure if T3 meds or NDT. work as well in lowering antibodies. I lowered my antibodies from thousands to 10.while on Synthroid and taking NAC the precursor to Glutathione.

Just my opinion I would either see a different doctor or go back and request another TSH test-as it's been about 6 months since your last one-also demand a "full panel" of thyroid tests. I saw 3 doctors before getting properly diagnosed because they only ran TSH and t4-each time my TSH was higher and I told them that-but they dismissed me- 3rd doctor finally did a full panel and my T3 was WAY off and by that time my TSH was well above normal too. I had symptoms for 2 years!!! Doctors did not believe me...told me the weight gain was my fault-literally. If I had-had a full panel at least a year ago? Maybe some of my symptoms could have been prevented-as they all came on-by the time the TSH was well above normal. You have to push the docs though-they don't seem to want to believe folks have thyroid issues! At least in my experience.

Hi Jen. Sorry for my last text appearing 3X. I only sent it once so not sure what happened. When I was first dxd I.was in my 30s but I am sure I had it for years. In my early 20s had plenty of energy but by my late 20s felt very fatigued thought I had narcolepsy. By mid 30s felt okay for a few hours after waking..then by noon my brain felt like it was at 0% and needed to be charged up like a low battery. I would get cold chills when it was 90degrees F and humid. My skin was dry and flakey. PMS but always on time. When I went to neighborhood doc he immediately felt my throat so how fatigued I was (fell asleep in waiting area). He immediately said "your hypothyroid" before even drawing labs. He was right my TSH was 65 and both AB.high in 1000s. This way many years ago and I had to read books to get info. If it happened in the present I would've been dxd way before my TSH got so high. He rxd Armour but when he retired other doctors put me on Synthroid/Levo at 115 125 150 200 then down to 175mcg w T3. NEVER

had side effects from Synthroid or Levo. but never felt 100% either. Maybe if I was dxd earlier. I always took supplements way-way before it was common and before I was dxd w Hashis. I read about NAC in the 80s. But only recently found out about Glutathione lowering antibodies. Glutathione will help in charging up your brain as well. Also read that if Glutathione levels were at optimal levels then autoantibodies would not occur.
