Hashimotos Disease?

I have been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. I think the underlying cause might be Hashimoto's Disease. But my ANA levels were normal. So, is it possible to have Hashimotos and have a normal ANA test?

P.S. I don't normally use Y!A for medical advice, but my Doctor's nurse is an idiot and can't correctly ask my questions to the Dr.

its autoimmune thyroiditis ,the ana isnt relevant,more auto thyroid antiboides are more important ,and yes its normal

ANA? What does that have to do with Hashimotos? You need to have all of your thyroid antibodies tested for a diagnosis of Hashimotos.
