Your doctor says you have hypothyroidism. You're prescribed Synthroid. Your TSH normalizes.
But you still feel terrible.
You do some research and discover something called "Hashimoto's thyroiditis." Now you're confused.
Is that the same thing as hypothyroidism? Is it different? Does it matter?
Yes, it matters. A lot.
Here's the critical distinction: hypothyroidism is a symptom. Hashimoto's is a cause.
Understanding the difference completely changes how you treat it and whether you'll actually feel better.
