A member asked:
Hypothyroidism w/ elevated tpo antibodies, low t, adrenal insufficiency... synthroid (thyroxine) & testosterone hasn't helped. can i have an autoimmune disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You do have it: Elevated tpo antibodies confirms you have autoimmune thyroiditis. This is often triggered by environmental toxins ;/or infections. You will likely benefit from adding liothyronine to your regimen ; treating adrenal problems with cordyceps, rhodiola etc. I advise consulting with a holistic doc.
