Although I am hypothyroid and supposed to be intolerant of cold, I CRAVE the cold and am always too hot.

I am not "flashing". I'm just always warm. Others around me just attribute it to being overweight.

For example every morning after I have showered, done hair and makeup I start persipring to the point I need a paper towel to dab at my face and neck for several minutes.

Is subsides about twenty minutes after I am on my way...but it always happens. I do have hbp under control with Lopressor.

Anyone else out there always hot? With or without thyroid troubles?

Did it change once you lost a significat amount of weight?

I always remember being like this.....but I have been heavy for more than 10 years.

Hi, Mary. I am always hot - since I started menopause. Not so much hot flashes anymore, but defiinitely sweating in the bajthroom and in the kitchen when I am cooking. I am hypothyroid, have controlled hypertension. I just attributed it to a "broken thermostat" for the past 6 years.

I am always too hot OR too cold. My comfortable temperature range seems to be very small.

I get hold flashes from menopause, but just being in the humid bathroom can make me sweat at anytime of the year, no matter the temp.

I do not have high blood pressure or a thryoid problem.

I too have the same problem but only around my face. Always have but it got worse once I hit menopause. I have an under active thyroid & high BP which are both controlled by tablets. I hate it when it happens because it's embarrassing when talking to people and having to constantly wipe my face with a tissue. I'll see if things change after I lose another 20 lbs.

I used to always be hot. To the point where I would always carry a fan in my purse for those times when it was unbearable. I don't have a thryoid prob.

I only had my surgery 7 months ago so I have been going through the winter and haven't experienced summery yet. However, I have noticed that I am more cold now then I used to be. A lot of my "insulation" has gone away :ohmy:

Hi Mary

I just wondering if you take an anti depressant. I have been on one called Tofranil (Imipramine generic name).

I a social event comes up and I get slightly excited, or nervous I sweat like crazy. I would need to rebath and redress.

My Dr. years ago put me on an antiaxiety pill--just for these occassions. It was a God send. I don't know if this is your problem--but the sweating is no fun and ruins the event. dicev

i am young and i have that problem.

i HATE walking into a building out of the cold and sweating my ass for atleast 10 minutes before it subsides and goes away.

i dont have a thyriod problem but i know when i lose weight this will probably go away! i cannot wait i HATTTTTE this!!!

I don't expect it to go away. When I was thin I would sweat really bad from my head, just as my father does. When I would workout I would be soaked. I am the same now, 140 pounds heavier. I don't expect it to go away when I lose the weight.

I have been hot natured ALL MY LIFE...ever since high school. I actually used to joke with my husband that would I ever be one of those little old sweater ladies. Since I have lost 68 lbs with lap band, I have to wear layers or I get too cold. Definitely a change, but oh so worth it.

i used to be hot ALL THE TIME. literally standing in line at the grocery store and could be dripping with sweat (with the AC on )...

now, im freeeeeezing - all.the.time...

good luck
