A member asked:
I have been treated for hashimotos for 10 years. i got vaccines and a flu shot recently. can this cause a fluctuation in my thyroid test results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hashimoto thyroidi: Thyroid function tests can fluctuate by themselves. It should be transient. So glad you got the flu shot. It protects you against a subset of the flu strains out there. You are also protecting people around you, especially infants and the elderly from those same strains.
