Ongoing and worsening symptoms
I am 23, active (walk a few miles daily and do crossfit 3X a week), eat healthy. I have hashimotos for about 5 years and it is well controlled. Some about October I've started having some symptoms that are worrying me. The biggest one is fatigue, I'm so tired all the time I want to sleep and sleep and I rarely feel awake, I also have frequent headaches (it's becoming almost daily), I have had a slight appetite decrease recently (which is fine because I want to lose some weight--for cosmetic reasons). I currently have a swollen lymph node in my neck but it's only been there about 2 days. I am achey often not due to my working out. I am anemic and I take iron daily and it doesn't help much with my ferritin levels). I can provide lab results. I just have that gut feeling that something is wrong. not sure what category to put it in so I put it in cancer because I'm worried that's what it is (I'm not a hypochondriac, but I had the same feeling before being diagnosed with hashis)

Hashimotos thyroiditis initially presents with hyperthyroidism but eventually ends in hypothyroidism. Your symptoms seems to match hypothyroidism. Best would be to see an endocrinologist. As for the node he might ask for an fnac and and an USG neck have it done.
