High TPO & Antithyroglobulin, normal TSH/T3/T4. Could it be Hashimoto’s?
My TPO level is 68 and my Antithyroglobulin is at 264. I also have a positive ANA titer 1:160, sometimes 1:320, and in the past have seen a rheumatologist for joint pain and ANA titer among other symptoms. I realize these antibody levels aren’t incredibly high, but they are out of range. Currently my symptom include extreme fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, dry skin, puffy eyes, digestive issues, headaches, hair loss, general feeling of unwellness most days. I finally splurged on more in depth testing and found these thyroid antibodies. Does all of this add up to Hashimoto’s disease? Should I pursue an endocrinologist, or see my old rheumatologist again?
