Yes I would most definitely talk to my doctor about those test results, they are very high. You may even need a thyroid specialist if your GP doesn't have experience treating Hashimoto's.

I had similar antibodies and was diagnosed with Hashimotos. I have nodules in my thyroid but my TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) has remained normal as does with around 25% of people with Hashi's. You should follow up with an endocrinologist.

can i ask you a question, i have a benign thyroid nodule which was found during an untrasound because my mouth and eyes went very dry, my salivary glands just stopped working properly. The only conditions i have found that cause this are hashimotos and sjorgens syndrome. i am currently waiting on a rheumy appointment for sjogrens. my gp tested my tsh levels which were 0.77 which is within range but on the lower side of the scale. They were 1.3 a few years ago. he didnt test any of the other thyroid tests and i dont know whether to pay for them privately or if im just throwing away money by doing that.
would tsh be lower in hashimotos or on the higher side? my mum has an underactive thyroid but my tests have always come back ok.
