I got the results back for tests I took to determine if I am Type 1.5. I’m not sure I understand the results. I believe I am negative, but what do you think?
ICA-CF: <1.2 [titers]
IgG: <5 [JDF Units]
GAD: <1.0 [U/mL]
What’s interesting is that they ran the TPO [Thyroxide Peroxidase ABS] test, too, which indicates the presence of either Hashimoto’s or Graves and I came back at 42 against a scale of 0-60, which translates to negative. It’s ironic because I have a number of other autoimmune diseases and have been told years ago by an endocrinologist that I have Hashimoto’s. Now my TSH has gone from perfectly normal to almost non-existent. I’m thinking that the score of 42 may be an average of old cells with Hashimoto’s and newer cells with Graves. Is this possible?
Of course, then there are those like me who test negative to a lot of autoimmune things.
Any comments will be appreciated.
