In reply to here is what I just found on TSH levels, posted by Spriggy on April 8, 2005, at 13:19:09
Hi Spriggy,
Yes, you can swing from hyPER to hyPO and back if you have antibodies indicating Hashimoto's Thyroidits. Also, while most people gain weight while hypo there are exceptions. You need further blood tests, including antibodies and ideally a Free T3 and Free T4 test to determine the amount of thyroid hormone that are bioavailable for your cells to use.About.com-thyroid is one of the best on the net, including their list of "Top Docs" by state.
Hope you get this sorted out soon.
