Hypothyroid with excessive generalized sweating

Sweating and Hypothyroid. Nine years ago I suffered abrupt onset of 4 symptoms, all profound: brain fog, insomnia (no sleep for weeks, double doses of various sleeping pills did not work), excessive generalized sweating, and painful sex. Three years ago, these 4 continuing, I became nauseated, dizzy, faint, major indigestion (never experienced previously), no energy. I can be up and moving around for 70 seconds before the symptoms become unbearable. Two ent's say my ears are not the problem. The painful sex has been resolved with an estrogen cream.

Now an endocrine specialist says my thyroid is "wacko" with a tsh of 10 and has prescribed synthroid, 50. This would explain some of my symptoms but not the sweating. Any ideas out there? Please help.
