What do you think.

Ok so the thyroid function test. Have never had Free T4 and Free T3 before. am positive for Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies.

Thank you. That was my thinking as well. Will see someone after the 16th when I can get an appt. Would the RF also be elevated with hashimotos.

Hi!
If ANA and TPO is high, then Hashimotos thyroidis should be ruled out and you should undergo a complete thyroid profile to even rule out hypothyroidism as you are not having your periods.  ALT can also rise in thyroid disorders. Hence instead of lupus, the focus should be on thyroid disorder. You need to consult an endocrine specialist.
Take care!
