Have you had Hypo for a long time and is it def linked then? do you think its the hypo rather than the meds (im on levo 25mg) ? Glad its not just me!! x

My daughter has had excessive thirst and sweating for many years - this site explains why.

Sounds as if there is an imbalance of somekind. I used to have unquenchable thirst but since my mineral and thyroid levels have been improved, my thirst is much less. You should be checked for diabetes though just in case...good luck

Hi, yes been checked for diabetes as I also have that in my family too! mum, granddad and bro! all fine. I had this thirst few months ago along with the fatigue etc.. then it went when I started Levo, but now back so may need to up my dose then. only on 25mg as a trial by my GP at the mo. x

Hi If eyes are also dry it is probably Sjogren`s syndrome, autoimmune, Specialist Rheumy, i. I would also be sure to have a new Diabetes test, as thirst and other thyroid type symptoms virtually the same to start with. It is autoimmune and hormonal.

Best wishes,

Jackie

Thanks x

I was thinking Sjogren`s syndrome, esp at 3am (don't need to wee, just a dry mouth - not actually thirst) but nothing else is dry (except occasional humour) seems there's also the Hughes triad - ask MaryF. J x
