Hashi inflamation?

[Kris4040]

Hi stella5349,

Your post was helpful. I'm a Hashi sufferer too. When these antibodies hit, even when in a normal TSH range (1.0), what is the cure, if any? Oh--my p. antibodies test was extremely high--way out of the normal range.

My tonsils are inflamed and red (on fire), my thyroid gland is tender to the touch and sore, and my teeth have the slightest slightest movement, which has never happened before. This has been going on since December (going back and forth with doctors...no clear answer yet). I've been to a dentist (not gum disease).

I see an ENT doctor the 16th and follow up with the Endo in Novemeber for a 2nd ultrasound on a nodule 1.2 centimeters in size. Freaked out about cancer!

This must be part of the Hashi inflamation?

I'm not sure what my TPOab result was or if the endo did other  antibodies tests. I'll have to find out.

I thought because tonsils were part of the immune system they could get sore when trying to fight off disease.

It will be interesting to see what the ENT says. Hopefully I can get this thing straightened out!

Thanks for the advice.

What was your TPOab result?
Did you have other antibody tests run?

Sore tonsils has nothing to do with thyroid disease.

As for what you can do about the antibodies, the answer is not much. Selenium may help lower the TPOab level, or it may not. It's worth a try.
