Why no doc doesnt want to give me treatment for hashimoto if my tsh is normal?and will hashimoto 100% develop into hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism?

Hashimoto: thyroiditis is usually self limited if the TSH is normal it just is monitored. it could develop into hypothyroid and you should be checked routinely
