Are Hashi sufferers stuck with Goitre?

Just wondering if the goitre I had come up before last Christmas is now a permanent thing? I was referred for a 2 week emergency referral in case of cancer which the Doc said was negative.

Has anyone had them go back down again or am I stuck with a "fat" neck forever?

It also randomly itches too!

I'm GF and Soy Free and Caffeine free.

TIA xx

Eureka74,

Sometimes starting Levothyroxine will shrink a goitre. Otherwise I think surgery is the only way to remove it.
