Hypothyroidism since 3 years and suddenly stopping tablets can cause major problem... Advise to consult and need dose reduction if TSH on lower side..
Jus REMEMBER that you have to take Thyroid medicine lifelong as per your reports..

So usually u cannot stop ur thyroid medicines it depends on what dose u were on. For TSH is 0.8 could reduce the dose instead of stopping the thyroid tablet. Intermittent fasting is not physiological rather I would suggest to do diet and exercise to reduce your weight. Aches and pains may b due to thyroid so please recheck ur thyroid again
