I was reading a post of mine from 2015 and noticed a reply to a question of mine and that it was a bad idea to prescribe based on real high antibodies or tsh..I am writing hoping someone can offer some advice..
My daughter was dx with hashi at about 15 She is 26 now..we started on levo and switched to Ndt not long after. Her current dose is 60mg NT Thyroid..we have reduced the dose from 90 a few months back....anyway, her last antibodies test had shown good improvement from the first although still really high. I had hoped it was because of the Black Seed Oil I was giving her as I had read hopeful things about it helping..Anyway, we stopped that a few months back while focusing on her asthma or shortness of breath symptoms..I was hoping her thyoid was getting better..had some labs drawn this week and her tsh has gone from 1 (1+ years ago) to 25 and her once better antibodies levels are now at an all time high of tpo 1034 and thyroglobin >2200..her free t3 is 2.9 (reference 2.4 to 4.2) and free thyroxin .66..what do you advise? no decent endo in my city..im doing good to have a GP that prescribes NDT.....Also was tested positive for EBV a year or so ago..
i was also thinking of trying some lugols iodine to see if that helps since she has FBD as well and fibroids..would estrogen dominance have anything to do with her higher levels?
