Guest guest Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 by the way...this has all happened very suddenly for me so am struggling to take it in...in april this year i woke one night on the bathroom floor, had collapsed in the night...went back to bed but everytime ifell asleep i came too with a terryifying sensation of falling, fainting, dying...palpiations, hot sweats, chest pain...called 999 as thought i was dying and was on my own with my 6 year old. this happened EVERY NIGHT for a month, sometimes 20 times a night...had strange sensation in my throat too. ended up being rushed to hospital with sever sleep deprivation and they ran tests which showed i was severely hypothyroid and had low cortisol too. my health has taken a downward spiral ever since with extreme exhaustion, unable to walk far, i used to excersie every day, major brain fog, can't remember anything, confusion, anxiety, forgetfulness, insomnia, hair falling out in handfuls, dry skin. before this i had energy but very stressful life and major menstaral problems, bleed on and off constantly for 6 months culminating in heavy flooding non stop for 6 weeks at xmas. It seems to have happned overnight for me this hashimotos and hyothyroid/adrenals, but looking back maybe there were signs and now my body has given up..anyone else had it happen this way? the scarey bit was the nightime faiting fits as no one understood them, including my dr, then i read someting about thyroiditis attacks that happen that way at night.. fliss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
