Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Your thyroid may be fluctuating because your medication needs to be adjusted. This is not uncommon with people who have thyroid condition. Talk to your doctor about changing the dosage.

If this is not the case, you will need to work with a specialist to stop this from happening.
Best,
Susan
