A member asked:
Been on thyroid meds for 2 yrs recently got lab results with greater than 1000 antibodies, what could be wrong?

Thyroid antibody: The high thyroid antibody test means you have an autoimmune destruction if your thyroid called hashimoto's thyroiditis. This test will stay positive even when you are taking the correct dose of thyroid hormone. Your level is good when the TSH blood test is normal at about 0.5 -3 miu/l.
