Free T4 0.8
TSH 2.35
TPO 158
TA 42
:(
Will not see doc for 2 months but he called me in a script for generic Synthroid 25 mcg or whatever. Looks like Hashimoto's, right? Well at least that hopefully explains the goiter and it will go away soon. Now that I know i have it I feel a ball in my throat sometimes and it's so annoying.

Hi,
Were those result taken while on medication or before?
Your TSH looks good, but your TPOab is elevated which does indicate Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
