Hashimoto's: Hashimoto's disease can, and likely will, affect your thyroid gland with antibodies that high. If your thyroid hormone levels are normal and you do not have symptoms nothing might be needed for now. Unlikely. You mention normal TSH but make mention of your thyroid hormones. Can you let me know what they are?

TSH, T3, T4 all normal TPO antibodies are 2200. Was told it's Hashimotos and put on 15mg Armour thyroid 3 months ago. I'm confused if the TSH is normal then why the Armour? Have all symptoms of hypothyroid. Also now my period is 2 weeks late. ?

Is it possible for hypothyroidism from hashimoto's to correct itself? I have had normal TSH levels for several months. My doctor says it's possible.
