From what I've read so far, Thyroid disease seems to be not so much a disease in itself but a symptom of something deeper. This website is very informative with lots of interesting videos explaining the processes which cause the body to attack the thyroid. I have found it a real eye-opener and I will now feel much more confident discussing these issues with my GP

Most hypothyroidism is caused by Hashimotos auto immune disease so it is definately something a lot deeper.
You probably already know a great deal more than your GP.
Most don't consider autoimmune problems that important as the treatment (as quoted in their doctors guidebook) for hypothyroidism ( no matter what the cause ) is Levothyroxine alone.
