I wanted to add that autoimmune attack on thyroid is a very common cause of low thyroid hormone levels. Here's a pretty short explanation of ways hypothyroidism can happen. http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/hypothyroidism-cause
Some people fluctuate high/low during the course of the thyroid inflammation, but ultimately the damage will make your gland unable to keep up with demand from the body. It is a bummer, but we're lucky to have treatment available. Thyroid hormone replacement medicines have only been available to patients for a little over 100 years, as far as I know.
