Dear Scrum., I second the last poster who encouraged you to get a 2nd opinion from a dr.!
If you are seeing major differences in your thyroid blood tests over time, it could indicate autoimmune thyroiditis and the end result (after all the ups and downs) is that your thyroid gland will not be able to make enough stuff. Endocrinologists see this disease daily, and they can give you thyroid replacement hormone IF you do need it, so see that kind of dr. if you don't already. Being treated that way is replacing what is missing in your body, and stemming any ups/downs with your levels over time. Don't be afraid of it, your body can only go so far on diminished thyroid levels. Though I don't take Armour (I take the synthetics levoxyl and cytomel instead), I hear that it's really close to what your own body would make.
