my thyroid was slightly hypo, TSH = 6.0, so was put on synthroid by endocrinologist, a fairly lose dose, 50 mg i believe.

but the endocrinologist did a blood test to test for antibodies to the thyroid to test for autoimmune component to hypothyroidism (i think that was it) but it came back negative, and i do remember he was a little surprised, or maybe he was just hoping to find something to help point to autoimmune since he believes my musculoskeletal issues are autoimmune but the rheumies just seem stumped.
