I’m a 20-year-old male with Hashimoto’s, but my thyroid function is still normal (TSH, free T4, and free T3 are all within the normal range).
Is developing hypothyroidism eventually inevitable, or is it possible to keep my thyroid healthy long-term by getting my anti-TPO antibodies as close to zero as possible and never needing thyroid medication?
I’m curious if anyone has managed to stay euthyroid for many years despite having Hashimoto’s, and whether lowering anti-TPO levels actually changes the long-term outcome.
