Hoshimotos is simply the autoimmune disease that can cause the destruction of the thyroid. It is not the actual thyroid disease. Hypithyroidism is the resulting disease and without treatment for that with hormones your thyroid cannot function. There are other causes as well for Hypothyroidism but this is one condition causing the thyroid not to work properly because it attacks and destroys it and the thyroid can no longer produce enough hornone. Hoshimoto is just once cause of this and Any PCP or Family Dr Endo or Rheumotologist can test your TPO antibodies to see if they are elevated over 35...not just an ENT. Removi g thr thyroid will also not rid you of Hoshimotos because again it is an autoimmune disease that is attacking the thyroid. Autoimmune diseases tend to ho together so changing diet and giving up gluten soy and sugars etc....can help reduce tpo antibodies and improve hoshimotos
