>Question:  Does anyone have hypothyroidism of autoimmune origin, but

thyroid (sometimes listed as thyrotropin) binding inhibitory
immunoglobulins (TBII)

thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI)

These are listed most everywhere as being indicative of Graves, but my
presentation was clearly HypO, showing in my FreeT3/T4 and Total T3/T4.  My
Dr. diagnosed Hashimoto's 4 years ago.  I've never had hypER symptoms,
except when given Cytomel once, or when at altitude.

YMMV.
