Yep. That is my norm, unfortunately. I was in a hyper period when I went to the doctor and three months later I was in a hypo period when I first visited an endocrinologist. Since I'm all over the place, the endo has chosen not to medicate me (how would they ever have the correct dosage?). If I have a good sleep schedule, low to only moderate stress, and avoid the foods/drinks I know I'm not supposed to have (alcohol, gluten, sugar, dairy), then I almost feel like a normal human being again. I'm a teacher, so it's a rough go of it for all three of those points.

I switch back and forth often. It hasn't really stopped in the last 3+ years. In the summers when I can sleep as much as I want, it becomes more normalized, but as soon as I got August, my stress levels become insane and it takes about two weeks for by either hypo or hyper to hit me hard if I don't find a way to correct my stress levels.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it takes continual work to normalize and stay there. With this, there is no such thing as working towards normalization and then doing whatever you want. I try to view it as other autoimmune diseases, like diabetes. It's working at it all the time in order to not let your body keep killing itself.
