feel cold while everyone else is too hot, what can I do?

[snoopy460]

I am hyperthyroism/ Graves Disease diagnosed in 2002. I feel cold in 60 degree weather when everyone else is warm. At 80 F I am warm but everyone else is sweating profusely and I don't break a sweat.  I have been on Methimazole for 10 years and am at 10 mg/once a day. Does anyone else experience this? Also mood swing alot, and very fatigued.

Probably worth retesting the thyroid function test to make sure that you're not overtreated with methimazole, at 10 years in the treatment 10 mg is a relatively high dose.

What is the highest dose recommended for someone that has been on Methimazole for 10 years?

Thanks for your reply, My endocrinologist tested me in March and never tells me results unless he think something is wrong. I told him I feel cold alot of the time while others are hot. He just shrugged it off. He says I'm on the lowest dose, and that I can't ever go off of the Methimazole. I have also tested positive in the nares for MRSA, and he has told me I'll have it for the rest of my life so deal with it. Noone is try to test me to see if it has gone negative.
