I used to be a huge nap person and I would fall asleep so easily. I would need my alarm to wake me up. it wasn’t until December of last year that I started waking up at 3am-4am and no matter what I did I couldn’t go back to sleep. I’m still dealing with this issue now.

is it even possible for hashimotos to progress like that ? from being a sleeping tired person that could nap all the time to out of the blue you’re wired and tired and can’t go back to sleep no matter what ? how is that even possible

hey so about 5 months ago I started getting this new onset bout of insomnia. Waking up at 3am and couldn’t go back to sleep no matter what. Then January came around and I randomly got these random bruises all over my left arm. about 4-5 different bruises. I’ve been down this rabbit hole of looking up things online. at first I suspected GI cancer since I had blood in stool twice in 2024 but colonoscopy came back clear. another reason I suspected it was because of ongoing GI issues. I had yellow stools for 3 years now and it fluctuates a lot. I’ll go 3 weeks yellow loose stool and diarrhea and then 1 week of semi normal stools. I’ve had an endoscopy colonoscopy and ct scan of abdomen and pelvic area. all tests have come back normal. I also started having crazy heart palpitations that would come and go.

mentioned to my doctor that my mom had thyroid issues and so she tested my TSH and TPO

TSH was 1.50

TPO 700

Vitamin D 23

I’m just so lost and the fatigue is something I’ve never experienced before in my life. I’m usually a very active and high energy guy. I have a hard time believing that my thyroid could cause all these symptoms. why did it just happen 5 months ago. if it was a thyroid issue wouldnt I always have had sleeping symptoms? also I’m a male so i find it hard to believe this is the sole factor of my symptoms. please help. haven’t been at work for 2 months and I haven’t been socializing because of this stupid fatigue
