Does anybody (with hypothyroidism / hashimoto's disease) have flu like body aches time to time? Is that normal? The days that I have it I also feel extremely tired..

Yes, I am hypothyroidism and I also get this!
I would check and see if its an allergy or intolerance first, I am really intolerant to maize, so nothing with cornflour and no tablets with maize starch as the filler!!
It depends, allergies and intolerances can show up in different ways if you are hypothyroid. I have flu like symptoms if I eat anything with maize or cornflour in, I saw an immunologist and was told to take a tiny amount of cornflour every day to build up a resistance, I politely declined saying I could not afford to lose days as I would not be able to get out of bed the following day!! I had to remove everything from my diet to find out what I was allergic to and soon discovered that a common ingredient in gravy and custard was cornflour, that was more than 30 years ago and I have avoided it since!
