Probably not thyroid: Looks like your hypothyroidism is being properly treated. The anti-TPO antibodies will stay high for a long time. I don't see how your symptoms are related to the thyroid. Suggest discussing this with your doctor.

Hi I have hashimotos/ hypothyroidism and my vitamin d is very low which is common. Will taking vitamin d affect the absorption of my synthroid? In the past I took vitamin d hours after synthroid and it seemed to make my tsh go up. Can that occur

I have hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto's disease. I take Synthroid 125 mcg but still don't feel good. I'm moody, irritable, my hair is falling out... Is there anything else I can try instead of Synthroid?

So I have Hashimotos thyroiditis and I use to take my Synthroid but stopped once I had my gastric sleeve. Because my levels went back to normal should I go head and start back up on my meds and still have my labs for Tsh drawn regularly?
