TT and/or RAI and antibodies.

Doing my own research and need some help from you wonderful people. Newbies and oldies I need your input!

If you have had a TT, do you still have antibodies? Thyroglobulin, TPO or TSI?

I'd like you to tell me when you had a TT, if you had RAI after that.
Have you since then checked to see if you have antibodies?
If you could tell me your stories I would much appreciate it.
I am finding too much research in medical journals for TT AND RAI regarding ongoing antibodies but barely anything regarding surgical TT and antibodies. (In particular rising antibodies as opposed to the usual 3 to 6 years of them falling)
Thanks everyone!

Heya!
All my treatment is too soon to really know what's going on (RAI only 5 months ago!)...so I'm of no use to you but I'll bump it up for ya!

Hopefully you get something helpful!

No takers? Ok I'll go first then.

I had a TT in Dec 2007. (partial in May 2007) due to Hashimoto's, multinodular goitre, and Hurthle cell adenoma with follicular changes 4.5 cm nodule.

My TPO antibodies are at 190 U/ml and should be <60 These are increasing NOT decreasing. Gah!
My Tg antibodies are now at 63 U/ml and should be < 60 These seem to be decreasing.
Tested Feb 2011

The Tg ab's are usually hovering between 70 and 80 and have dropped recently.

I'm on 114.3mcgs of thyroxine only.

  Need to find anyone out there with a similar situation and what happened to them.
Thanks!
