thyroglobulin antibodies high, TPOAb normal

by Liz118, Jan 10, 2009 04:59PM
Hello everyone
I have already been taking cytomel for a few years because I had hypothyroid symptoms with a consitently low basal body temp, even though my tsh was "normal".The cytomel has been great except I had to taper down a little because I was sweating excessively on it.
I just had a more complete blood test and my thyroglobulin antibodies were high while the other antibodies were normal. Otherwise everything was normal except my free t4 was at the very bottom of the range. If I only have the high thyroglobulin antibodies do I still have hashimoto's? Or is there a possibility that the cytomel cause those antibodies to be high and otherwise I would not have a problem? I
Thanks

The Cytomel would not cause your TGab to rise.

You have an autoimmune thyroid condition. I would call it Hashimoto's since it seems to be autoimmune hypothyroidism.

Have you had a recent checkup with an Ultrasound and Thyroid Uptake Scan?
I would suggest you see your Doc and ask for these to be done if you havent had them done recently.

All The Best .

Thanks so much for the replies. I really appreciate it. Do you recommend a time released T3 instead of cytomel? This is what my doctor recommends. Or is armour the best?
