I have normal #s but an antibody. I guess I have a silent autoimmune disease. So frustrating! I wish I could find a dr that will listen to me! I’ve been suffering for 4 years and got worse 6 months ago!
I started eating 2 brazil nuts a day and no alcohol past 6:30 pm. So if I have a glass of red wine at dinner, there is no time for a 2nd glass. My thyroid has gone back to normal and I feel great. I thought I was dying, I couldn't sleep, couldn't rest, racing pulse, chest pain. That is all gone. Brazil nuts and sardines are really good for thyroid function. Research it. My MD dismissed it but It's the only changes I made and my body started to return to normal. I sleep very well again 😴. I was desperate and had nothing to lose! My numbers were off the chart, with in 3 months they were normal again.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT REQUEST AT END. Great informative videos! I've never heard anyone break things down like this, so thank you! I will share this page with everyone I know. My husband shared it with me. Can you please do a thorough video on Hyperthyroidism & Grave's disease? I 've been to numerous doctors & they don't have a clue of what to do.
Wait, so Hashimoto's can cause increased heart rate?? Why would a doctor ignore that if your complaint is a high rating heart rate and they find a high TPO rating?
Right, you need to clarify that Hashimoto’s can sometimes start out as graves but end up with hypothyroid. Need to clarify that on blood work a high TSH means you are hypothyroid. A low TSH means you are hyper thyroid.
well , how about a sky spike high anti-TPO with lots of annoying symptoms : fatigue, irritability, skin rushes - dermatitis saisonnières on\off, depression on\off, loss of hair .since few years , without any perturbation of TSH or T3, T4 all this in normal ranges !!!! and as well like unexpected, a elevated lymphocytes (the rest of blood work normal)
Thanks for the great video! My sister has hashimotos diagnosed from child, and I (M-31) have had fatigue, uncontrollable anxiety, stomach problems of all kinds, lack of energy and fatigue for a long time. I tested myself and found out that my Tpo is higher but the rest is normal. It seems that my episodes might be because of the silent type condition. Time to go to the endocrinologist.
Are you ok now, how long did it take to get rid of that fatigue? My anti tpo is too high at 1800 and feel extremely fatigued. Having medicine according to my doctor's recipe Just wondering how long did it take to feel energy again, tired of feeling tired 😅 Thanks
@@MrJony-fv3ev Get your sleep right, that's the vice. When you're anxious you can't sleep well. Anxiety doesn't let you switch off completley. Once I dropped the anxiety levels, my sleep got better, and I started to recover more after training, and daily life. There are days that I wake up as if I'm a newborn, happy and fresh. Manage your anxiety activley, take supplements for sleep and excersise daily. Make an effort to relax. Those are my tips
@@MrJony-fv3ev Also, go to a therapist if you need to. In my case I experienced some traumatic events when I was a child. You need to treat the source of the problem.
TSH:high normal Free:T3 normal Free:T4 normal TPEX: normal Anti TG antibodies: 546 (ref 0-115) According to this video, I would be Hashimoto’s, caught early? I have so many symptoms.
Dear Doctor, I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and was put on levothyroxine but this is not a drug that is often used for hyperthyroid. Usually it is methimazole. However another provided that I see diagnosed me with hyPOthyroid. I am wondering if both providers are mixed up due to a typo or something else. I am experiencing a rash for 4 years, vitiligo, weight loss etc. I am wondering if this is because I am on Levothyroxine and I am actually on the wrong meds or being managed improperly. Please help me!. I understand medical terms so you can speak to me like I am a doctor. I am just having a hard time getting clarity about this, each doctor tells me to talk to the other doctor. I just need an outside perspective.
It’s so confusing because I’m high TPO and then I have eye protrusion like with Graves. I’m not sure about the other numbers but I also have narcolepsy and my brother has celiac disease so autoimmune issues are in my genetic makeup I guess. My eyes are prominent enough that almost every dr I’ve been to wants to check my levels and then tell me it’s normal. I’ve only just now gotten a dr who did antibodies testing too. I’ve never had it checked until this past week. I have not been feeling well for most of this past year and when I have narcolepsy I’m ignored because it’s written off as oh you have narcolepsy so of course you’re tired. This is a totally different tired though.
@@DrJinSung Hello! Thank you so much for your response! I am currently traveling the world I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in Chiang Mai based on an elevated Thyroglobulin Antibody (30) and elevated Anti TPO (80) in September. TSH is 1.33. No thyroid meds prescribed. I have symptoms of excessive hair falling out, irregular periods, hot feet, ongoing yeast and BV infections. Since my diagnosis I have been to Vietnam, and now we are in Japan. We have plans to travel through Europe this next year, but I am wondering if I should just go home to America. Do you have any advice? What should I be doing to prevent destruction?! I do not have insurance in the states or I would request a Telehealth visit with you! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
I think that might be positive (high). My lab says anything above 34 is high. But my doctor said to ignore because my TSH, T4, and T3 were normal.... Thyroid stuff is frustrating. Seems like no one takes it seriously.
@jerimiahreece8507 yes! My other tests were "normal" too. I'm eating 3 brazil nuts a day and taking ultra Benfotiamine. My eyebrow tails are growing back and my eyebrows in general are more filled in. Not sure what remedy in using is doing this but I'm going to test my tpo in a few months to see if it's changed.
Why do regular Dr’s only speak about TPO antibodies? My TPO is low (20) but my Tg is high (99>). My TSH varies (depending on my diet) somethings healthy range, sometimes not. My Free Thyroxine is always low end of normal. Not on meds. My GP was concerned for me, but the consultant said Tg is irrelevant, they only look at this antibody in post cancer patients. Please can you help us understand this? I’m sure I’m not the only one with this confusion.
Hello! Thank you for this video. What does it mean to have high tpo antibodies over 900 but normal thyroglobulin?? I’m so confused why my labs came out like this?!
How can we let Antibodies go away in case of Hashimoto? Hashimoto patient can take L-Thyroxin for getting ride of high TSH, but still have underlying attacks from antibodies.
I do have a silent one, my mother has Hashimoto. How can I reverse it? What is the different silent or active hasimoto , I don’t want to take medication.
I have subclinical HYPERthyroidism. I have a 3.2cm hot nodule on the left, and a tiny one on the right. TSH low, T3, T4 are normal. Should I get a thyroidectomy?
Hi Dr. My TPO is 1400's and my TSH, T3 and T4 normal.. what that means and what can i do thank you... My tsh was at level 17 a few years ago but i just took another test last week and my TSH t3 and t4 is normal
Hello Dr., I am concerned about my results. My TSH=0.664. Free T4= 0.99 . Free T3= 3.15. TPO antibody= under 1. Thyreoglobulin=0.073. Thyreoglobulin Antibody= 225. TSH Antibody= 1.1. What do my results mean? My doc told me everything is fine
I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease hyperthyroidism all my antibodies tests are or normal levels. I got the idione uptake and scan and was confirmed for hyperthyroidism. Only few people with negative antibodies are Graves’ disease as in my case.
Hi im glad to find this video. i have hashimotos. pretty hyper i would say. we manadged to put T3 and T4 in the normal range, TSH very looww 0.2 but im very shocked to see my TPO levels at 144 very high. My question is how can i lower that? And what things could trigger high TPO? is there a video about that??
Hi, I love your content! Can I ask, if you have a TPO 444 but other thyroid markers are within ‘normal’ range, but you have all symptoms of Hashimoto’s, does the positive TPO confirm Hashimoto’s ?
No, I mean, I have these side effects too. There are ways to reduce it (supplemental diets), and just because you officially know you have it doesn't mean it will be that bad. If the thyroid is damaged, there is something you can do, and if it stays that way, there is something you can do, and the symptoms with positive TPO are not as bad as you might think. At the moment, many people are having an excellent life with it. You will have more anxiety and get tired more easily, but that is manageable.@@dragonqueen3027
I was initially diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2021. Last week I was also told I have Graves after an US and bloodwork. So.. what happens when you have both at the same time?
Hello Dr. Jin Sung. I was wondering if you could help me interpret a study I did. I am confused whether it is Hashimoto's Thyroiditis or Grave's Disease. If you can help me I will be greatly thankful to you. The results were these: T3 = 1.3 ( normal range 0.8-2.0). T4 total = 9.7 (normal range 5.1-14.1). T4 free = 1.7 (normal range 1.0 - 1.7) TSH = 0.09 (normal range 0.19 - 4.92).
Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody, Serum = < 1.10 IU/L (reference value 0.00 - 1.75). In healthy individuals and in patients with thyroid disease without diagnosis of GD, the upper limit of antithyrotropin receptor values are 1.22 IU/L and 1.58 IU/L, respectively. Wishing you the best and continuing to help and inform people. Thank you very much for your time :D
@@DrJinSung Not yet Doctor, i guess i should make those studies too. Once a recieve them i will let you know the results. Thank you very much for responding Dr. Sung. Have a great evenning .
My TSH is 16, T4 and T3 normal... But TPOab 894 and TgAb 181 IU/mL... Dr not sure only increases Levothyroxine and wants to put me on statins cause cholesterol high 😒
Your hypothalamus and pituitary are telling your thyroid to produce more hormones. Eventually, the T4 and T3 will go low. At the end of the day you Hashimoto's so you have to address that. Look at the other videos on thyroid. Best, Dr. Jin
Will my anti tpo & anti tg test shows negative while i am already on levothyroxine and maintaining my tsh normal? Must reply please 🙏🙏 I really want to know my hypothyroidism reason if it is hashimoto or not..
I've just seen this. This means that you have signs that your thyroid is under attack from your immune system. Regular monitoring should be undertaken of your thyroid as you are at greater risk of developing a full blown autoimmune condition.
What number will Thyroid Peroxidase to show hypothyroidism? My test shows 1! All the rest showed normal. I have every symptom of hypothyroidism. I have multinodular thyroid, a sore throat which throat feels closed up. I’ve had it almost three months. When TSH all shows normal, it’s hard to make Drs understand. I’m so sick and scared. Drs all busy and months wait to get in. Help!

What is a positive TPO OR TG antibodies numbered considered positive for either one or both?
That was an excellent explanation Dr Sung.
I wish you mentioned the third possibility about TV and antibodies.
THANK YOU. This helps a lot.
Can u please make a video about hyperthyroidism also
Thank you so much for breaking this down so well. I am getting a total education!!!
Wait, so Hashimoto's can cause increased heart rate?? Why would a doctor ignore that if your complaint is a high rating heart rate and they find a high TPO rating?

Thank you for sharing this grade video with us! Are TSH levels stablished for teenagers during puberty?
Thank you!! Very helpful!
So glad!
Thank you so much for this information. God Bless you!
Recent study has shown that high anti TPO correlate with high Ferritin levels! Like in my case…but I’m the silent type of Hashimoto…
Elevated ferritin above lab reference range is indicative of acute inflammation. So in the acute stages of thyroiditis ferritin can be elevated.
My husband has Hashimito, he was advises for thyroidectomy while the marquers are super high. is it okay to remove the thyroid gland totally ?
TSH:high normal
Free:T3 normal
Free:T4 normal
TPEX: normal
Anti TG antibodies: 546 (ref 0-115)
According to this video, I would be Hashimoto’s, caught early?
I have so many symptoms.
To help: stop eating gluten, dairy, corn. Go on an anti inflammatory diet (animal based or plant based) and retest.
