Antibodies?: Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (ata) or tgab can be seen in patients with hashimoto thyroiditis or graves disease. So, you cannot be certain: however, symptoms of each disease are quite different. In one you are "hyper-metabolic" (too much hormone) and in the other you are "hypo-metabolic) (too little hormone). Your doctor can help you separate.
