Hypothyroidism and excessive sweating

[cris2009]

Hello All,

This is sort of gross but ever since my partial thyroidectomy in September 2007, I have been excessively sweating all the time, especially in my armpits. I have never had a problem with sweating before in my life. I am hypothyroid but seem to have symptoms of both hyper and hypo.
I have tests done and it's not menopause or adrenal issues. I am currently on .50 of Synthroid and I believe my last TSH was 2.9?? ( still confused how all THAT works).

Anyway, has anyone else noticed themselves sweating, a lot?  

Is it the Synthroid? Is it that my levels are not right?

Any info, help, same stories???

THANKS!!!

I to sweat a lot it's so uncomfortable waddling around in wet clothes most of the time, I have been on thyroxine for about 20 years now and I just keep getting bigger and bigger, I have had 5 wedding rings because my fingers have grown so much, of course my doctor won't have it that it's the thyroid because my levels are normal, my mother has the opposite problem though she is always cold and she has lost around 5 stone yet we are both have an under active thyroid and take thyroxine.   Liz

As has been noted above, you've attached to a very old thread... Your situation would get more/better attention if you start your own thread.  

Do you have a thyroid condition?  If so, which one?  Do you take a thyroid medication? If so, which one, what dosage and for how long have you been taking it?

If you can post your actual labs, we can better assess your situation.  Be sure to include reference ranges with any lab results, as ranges vary lab to lab and have to come from your own report.

I stay hot and sweaty most all the time.  If I do the slightest thing my head sweats profusely it's horrible and I'm so tired of it.  I'm 62 and so tired all the time, embarrassed by the sweating it can be 0 out and I have sweat dripping down my face and my hair gets soaking wet at my temples, under my hair line, top of my head, it's living hell and I'm so worn out from it.  I feel so miserable most all the time.Any suggestions please?

I have the opposite. I can't/don't sweat so I can't tolerate the heat at all but I do get body odor.
It's not pleasant either. Makes it very difficult to be outside in the summer.

It's okay that you don't type well.  We can work around typos.  Regular sentences and paragraphs works great.  Hope to see a new post.
