So just reaching out to see if anyone has any info to share about autoimmune thyroiditis. I am just at the beginning of this journey and have a lot to learn. PSers know so much about so many topics I thought it might be helpful to start a thread about it. And maybe it can be helpful to others who are in similar situations.
My TPO level tested high but all my other thyroid findings (still waiting for the Thyroidglobulin antibody results however and I need a thyroid sonogram) are in the "normal" range. The problem is as I read about this topic the more I realize there is not a whole lot of agreement about this and what constitutes normal and what doesn't and how to treat it.
What I have learned so far:
TPOs at any level are not normal and signal an autoimmune issue. It seems mainstream medicine has not yet embraced this fact unfortunately.
I found this link very helpful.

If anyone has an info to share I would appreciate it. I don't know anyone IRL who has a similar issue and looking to find out as much real life info as possible. Thanks.
