Is anyone familiar with excessive sweating as a symptom of  
Hashimoto's? I developed Hashimoto's a little more than seven years  
ago, and ever since then, even a slight uptick in temperature makes me  
break out in sweat. Now that it's summer, I can't walk down the street  
without getting totally drenched.

I've treated my hypothyroidism over time with Synthroid (137 MCG), T3  
(100 MCG) and now Armour (4.5 grains). My T3 and T4 are both average  
to high (but normal for an otherwise healthy young man in his 20s). I  
stress that the sweating accompanied the onset of other symptoms of  
hypothyroidism and did NOT start when I began treating the  
hypothyroidism (I can be sure because a period of two years elapsed  
between those times).

If you aren't aware of a Hashimoto's- or hypothyroidism-sweating  
connection, what about a connection between something that can cause  
excessive sweating and that can also trigger Hashimoto's? Or a  
connection between Hashimoto's and other linked medical conditions for  
which sweating is a symptom?

Thank you all so much in advance for your help. I'm pretty much at my  
wit's end, and it's progressed way beyond the point of a mere  
inconvenience and into dangerous territory. I'm reluctant to walk my  
dog outside during the daylight because I might lose so much fluid  
from sweat that I'll dehydrate.
