A member asked:

Is it possible to flip flop between hyperthyroidism and normal thyroid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: A bout of thyroiditis can release extra thyroid hormone into your circulation and make your thyroid tests run abnormally high for a short period of time, but this is temporary. True hyperthyroidism last until it burns itself out over many years or is successfully treated with radioiodine or antithyroid drugs.
