I take Synthroid (thyroxine) for hypothyroidism, I do not have hashimotos. If I was misdiagnosed and have been taking it for the past 10 years, could the medication have damaged my thyroid?

Does a thyroid peroxidase ab result of 484.0 confirm hashimoto's? I have been diagnosed as hypothyroid and my Synthroid (thyroxine) was just upped to 75mcg/day.
