Yes it can,, : In this case, the TSH can lead to your symptoms as the TSH is known to fall in hashimoto's thyroiditis. Interestingly, levothyroxine replacement dose can reverse progression of this disease, and is the treatment.

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?

What causes Hashimotos? I only found out I have it cause I had post partum thyroiditis. One of the antibodies was slightly positive. TSH normal.
