Same treatment: If you are/were hypothyroid and are doing well on replacement medication, knowing the status of your auto-antibodies is not going to change the course of treatment.

Having TPO antibody 17 and Thyroglobulin <20 confirms Hashimoto's or not? I had TSH 4.67 which reduced to 2.61 in 18 days after taking Levothyroxine.
