Main cause of HypO is Hashimoto's disease, found by testing for antibodies. With it, TSH can be in normal range of .3 - 3, and the person is far from normal! One goes up and down (hypO & hypER) w/ it.
Need to see an Endo.

Hashi's disease
Your thyroid levels (what we know as T4 and T3) indicate the amount of hormones in your system that are generated by the thyroid gland.
TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone, so if you don't have enough T4 (more-so than T3) then TSH increases i.e. the hormone is increased as a response to low T4's to stimulate the thyroid to try and produce its own T3 and T4.
The fact that your TSH has changed so much would suggest that your thyroid has had a bit of a rough patch and worked overtime to make its own T's. So initially your TSH was high because it was stimulating your thyroid to make its own. Once the thyroid made its own, your TSH dropped again since it didn't have to stimulate anymore. I'm assuming your T3 and T4 were on the low side in your first test?
