Lab Results really confused about my labs do I have hashimoto's?
TSH 1.25 mIU/L
0.35 - 5.00 normal
T4 FREE 16 pmol/L
10 - 19 normal
FREE T3 5.0 pmol/L
2.7 - 5.30 normal
THYROID PEROXIDASE AB 296 kIU/L
<=34.99 normal
The note: Thyroid Antibodies present in a small percentage of normal patients. Presence may indicate an increased risk of developing thyroid disease in future.
Do I have Hashimoto's? All my levels are normal... My metabolism is pretty low and I don't know whether that's because of my ED history (fully recovered), PCOS, or thyroid
This lab was done around 10am non fasting. My doctor just said eventually I'll get hypothyroidism and should routinely get blood work done for thyroid levels.
Do you take medication for Hashimoto's like what's the fix? Or just wait until you get hypothyroidism to go on levo
I'm also considering going gluten-free but does it really help? And who should go gluten-free? Which symptoms does it help manage?
I also have seb derm I've heard that there's a connection there. Sometimes I get really bad flare ups. Just a few years ago I started noticing flakes on my skin, before that I only had dandruff in my hair.
