looking back i have pretty mild symptoms that were easily overlooked but the bloodwork also showed EXTREMELY high antibodies. the good part is it was caught while my thyroid is still producing hormones well within normal range so now i'm just trying to preserve it as much as possible. if you're able to get tested i def recommend. if you don't have it, no harm done + you learn about your body anyways. if you do, it really improves outcome in terms of more severe/debilitating symptoms later!

full function as in my hormones are within normal levels. my thyroid is overcompensating but not damaged to the point of needing hormone replacement

I didn’t know that was possible with hashimotos, my doctor has never explained that

i'm no dr and i literally found out about it today (my reply to #2 kinda explains how it was caught) but at least for me it was caught pretty early before developing a goiter or any severe symptoms through blood testing

god forbid a girl want to have a body that doesn't attack itself fr 😭 even though it wasn't diagnosed until later i'm still happy to hear it was caught eventually!
