If ana and other blood tests for autoimmune diseases came negative, how do i know i do have one like autoimmune suppressor as doctor say?

Ask your doctor: Hashimoto's thyroidits is an autoimmune disease where there are antibodies to the thyroid gland. Other antibodies such as ANA may develop along with the thyroid antibodies, but only in some patients.Autoimmune suppressor - you may have misunderstood your doctor.
