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.

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