Char7c,

Autoimmune thyroiditis is commonly known as Hashimoto's just about everywhere except the NHS. There is no cure for Hashimoto's which causes 90% of hypothyroidism.

If your thyroid is inflamed following an autoimmune attack it may improve as the inflammation goes down.

The ultrasound will show the size and general condition of your thyroid gland.
