I have not had those tests done. They may be looking for other conditions besides diabetes. Why did your doctor order them?

They had the tests done because they found I had some sort of auto immune disorder. That's where they said I had Hashimoto's disorder.

Your thyroid antibodies are very high, which is what led to the diagnosis. You're probably feeling cold, exhausted and puffy. Have they started you on any medication?

The normal ANA results mean it's very unlikely you have lupus, and the normal RF means you don't have rheumatoid arthritis. Congratulations, as both of those are far more troublesome than Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

You should be seeing a good endocrinologist for treatment of your Hashi's. Good luck.
