However, I still suffer with all of the symptoms of low thyroid. All my blood work comes back as “normal” but I don’t feel even remotely normal. I’m currently on 120mg of thyroid medication but feel like I should be taking more. Of course, because of my bloodwork, the doctor won’t prescribe a higher dose. What now? Is there anything I can do, or is there somewhere where I can purchase NDT? Would it be good practise to slowly increase the thyroid medication until I hit the threshold (ie. start experiencing hyper symptoms) and then back the dosage down to where I no longer experience any hyper symptoms?

Hi Mary, Elevated Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies TPOAb is used by doctors to diagnose the autoimmune condition Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. Here is more information about it: https://hypothyroidmom.com/hashimotos-your-body-is-not-supposed-to-destroy-itself-right/
Good to have you at Hypothyroid Mom.

I’m treated with synthroid 75 mcg/day. My TSH is normal. Recently I developed N-M symptoms and was referred to a Neurologist who did a ton of lab work on me. The lab test that was abnormal was the thyroid perixidase. It was 900 (nl is < 9).
I’m wondering what this means! Would it help me to go on the DTH?
