Not thyroid: Hi. No, your fatigue is not due to your Hashimoto's. Your thyroid function is normal. Thyroid autoantibodies are a marker of thyroid autoimmunity, but cause no symptoms. So your fatigue is unrelated to your thyroid. As an aside, there are a bazillion causes of fatigue, of which thyroid dysfunction is but one. Good luck and happy 2015!

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. ?

I have hypothyroidism. Elevated TSH. Normal T3 and T4. Antibody test was negative. Endocrinologist still refers to it as Hashimotos and says that's "most likely" the cause. Why would that be if I have no antibodies?
