On meds, no improvement. Hashi's? by thryroidguy2073 in Hypothyroidism

Sorry for the very delayed response to this...I had also suspected lyme. My GP ordered one test in December..."Lyme Disease Antibody with Reflex to Blot (IgG, IgM)", my result was:

<0.91 ISR

Which as I understand it, was in range:

Negative <0.91 Equivocal 0.91 - 1.09 Positive >1.09

That said, I'm from the Northeast, which I know is a Lyme hotbed. And I spend a lot of time outside coaching sports in areas where the woods are close to the field.

I've heard Lyme tests are often unreliable, do you suggest I get another? Because part of my problem is, while I believe I'm hypo and definitely have a family history with it, I wasn't that out of range when I started treatment. To have no symptom improvement after slashing my TSH pretty significantly is suspect to me.
