It means you have antibodies and have an autoimmune disease (as Stella says).
Get your Doctor to check you for Hashimoto.
The Goiter is causing the antibody count to be high.
The antibodies are attacking your thyroid causing it to malfunction and thats why you are on Eltroxin (thyroid replacement).
Whereabouts are you as Eltroxin is usually prescribed in New Zealand?
