First, I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time. My brush with serious thyroid problems was blessedly brief, but even from that I know how scary - and exhausting - it can be.
Second, and I know this is a radical thought, but one thing my doctors discussed with me if I kept flipping back and forth from hypo to hyper was to just ablate my thyroid, making me permanently hypo. I really didn't want to do it and I'm glad since I seem to be mostly settled at normal and low normal, but if I you're still flipping back and forth it might be worth thinking about as a last resort.
Third, I think adding in T-3 might be worth a try. When the doctors were talking about ablating my thyroid I did some research on replacement therapy and found that while most people did well on just T-4 the more natural mix did seem to help some people who just didn't feel well on T-4 alone.
Good luck. I hope your docs get you stablized.
