No sweat!

[hoalarg]

Since being on ndt I have hardly sweated, nor even produced body odor. Even in this hot weather! I don't even need to wear deodorant. I just wondered if anyone else had experience of this? What's happening here?

Are you optimally medicated? If so what were things like before? Did you sweat a lot previously?

I'm not optimal at the moment and I simply cannot tolerate the heat. I don't sweat loads either but I get very agitated in this weather and at night my feet are so hot I cannot sleep.

Yes i used to sweat a lot, including lots of night sweats. I used to suffer more like you in the heat but that's improved too.

I think it's a symptom of not being on enough medication as that slows down metabolism and bodily functions...I have literally gone through months of no sweating even if I was incredibly hot ..even if I went in a sauna I would barely sweat!..maybe your not yet optimal .

I'm sure you're right as I'm on under 2 grains of ndt. I was thinking over medicated because it's so opposite to where I was a few months ago.

I have been under-medicated and over-medicated, and now - I think - I've got it right. But, I haven't sweated, except on my head, since starting thyroid hormone replacement.

Interesting... I nnever thought I'd reach a time in my life when I didn't need deodorant, especially in summer.

I thought sweating was a healthy part of the detoxification process so that shouldn't stop. I would like to feel more comfortable in the heat as it makes me incredibly stressed and agitated. I hope that changes soon.

As I say, this used to be the case for me but now I feel ok in the heat. However, I still feel cold hands in the heat sometimes.

I stopped sweating when I was firstcdiagnosed. Now I'm on NDT I sometimes do but it's very rare

[hoalarg in reply to silverfox7]

Thanks for letting me know. Looks like it's fairly common. I like it. My night sweats previously were awful, sometimes once a week. Now that's all gone.

Isnt it strange - I am completely the opposite. I never sweated. When hay making I used to carry a water spray with me just to keep me from boiling over. I could sit in a sauna and not squeeze out a drop! Now on NDT I have about 5 different deoderants in the effort to try and keep my armpits from scaring the crowds!

That's really strange the way it seems to make us the opposite of where we were before.
