Thyroid: If your doc is an endocrinologist, follow his advice. Tsh has an inverse relationship with thyroid activity, i.e. Low tsh=high thyroid activity. The elevated thyroid peroxidase (aka antimicrosomal antibodies) suggests autoimmune hyperthyroid disease, but can also be elevated in other autoimmune disorders like lupus & rheumatoid arthritis & many other conditions. Get 2nd opinion if in doubt.
