I'm a bit worried because my T3 and T4 levels are normal, but my TSH is really high at 98 and my AntiTPO is 1440. I'm planning to see a doctor soon, but I'm curious to know if there's a way to reverse this autoimmune issue without having to take thyroxine if that's what the doctor suggests. Is there a different approach I might consider?

That is not possible ideally but can control the disease progress ,follow your doctors advice
