Unfortunately when you have one autoimmune illness it does open the door to others. Don't give up hope on feeling better though....it will happen...it just takes time. Nothing is a quick fix when it comes to the thyroid. I take it you have Hashimotos as well? Were you tested for it? This can explain the sudden changes of thyroid levels.
The most important thing is to look for the light at the end of the tunnel and not get depressed.
