Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism are actually different things, even though they both effect the thyroids. Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disease which causes antibodies to react against proteins in the thyroid gland, making the gland unable to perform its functions. Hypothyroidism itself is a condition, in which the thyroid is either underactive or totally unable to function. The link in this chain is that Hashimoto's disease is a leading cause of hypothyroidism. By Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism, I assume you mean Hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's disease.
