Thyroid Condition: Is it considered an autoimmune disease?

So I have a Low Thyroid does that mean I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis? All I was told when I kept gaining weight and was told to eat less when I wasn't a big eater and then they Finally did a thyroid test after a year was that my thyroid was not even in the range at all. So they put me on meds. I have no clue but being my age, and had fillings like you have wondering if I do!

There are other types of hypothyroidism.

I have low thyroid, hypothyroidism, due to my thyroid being removed. I've never had Hashimoto's, but I was a Graves Disease, hyperthyroidism, causing the need to remove it with radioactive iodine. Just stay ontop of you thyroid levels, get your TSH tests as recommended, or when in doubt request one yourself.
