Negative ana levels. high tbo tests (118 iu/ml). negative tsh. could i still have lupus? so frustrated with my results! doc says hashimotos.

No but: why are you not trusting your doctor's conclusion? By the way, did you mean high TPO instead of TBO? Was the TSH negative =zero or normal? None of these tests however pointed to lupus but were compatible with Hashimoto's with still normal thyroid function (normal TSH) eventually leading to hypothyroid status and thus requiring regular follow-up.

Symptoms of hypothyroidism, high normal TSH, TPO is 49. I have Reynaud's and positive ANA but am struggling convincing my doc to diagnose Hashimoto's.
Can Hashimoto's (no nodules) just high antibodies (over 500), normal TSH, cause mild enlarged anterior cervical lymph node for 7 months? Some docs admit it can, but some say there is no connection. Done all possible tests, everything else is perfect?
Male. Suffer from Hashimoto's. TSH is normal, no nodules on the thyroid but very vascularised (irritated), TPO is high 535 UI/mL. I'm concerned about Calcitonin level which is high 12.04 pg/mL. Is cancer possible?
I'd love some help understanding some bloodwork results. TPO) Ab (High - 304 mL) TG Antibody (High - 18.7 mL) T4 free direct 1.11 normal TSH 2.44 normal Do these results indicate Hashimoto's? It will be a few weeks before I see my doctor.
TPO is 274 IU/mL (rr 0-9). Is it automatically a diagnosis of Hashimotos if TSH normal? Can antibodies alone cause symptoms? Extensive tests reveal no other cause. Whatever is making me feel bad seems to fall outside current medical knowledge, sadly?
