autoimmune disorder

I started breaking out in hives.  My allergist did lab work for thyroid and the thyroid function test came back normal, but my thyroid peroxidase levels were at 286.  He explained to me it was an autoimmune disorder and put me on Cyclosporine.  I was wondering if I needed any kind of thyroid medicine?
