Hi all. Sorry for too much information. But does anyone else suffer from excess swearing (underarms)
I've had this issue for a few years now. Even when feeling freezing cold or not doing anything physical either.
Just wondered if anyone else has the same issue or found anything to help
Thanks
Another post from earlier on this subject

Thank you 😊 I did read that. Maybe a hypothyroidism symptom? Still in the process of trying to get diagnosed
It's not on ThyroidUK's list of hypo symptoms (diminished sweating is)
thyroiduk.org/tuk/about_the...
but is on the list of hyper symptoms
thyroiduk.org/tuk/about_the...
Your TPO antibodies are raised, indicative of Hashimoto's, so you are likely to experience symptoms of both hypo and hyper which is normal with Hashi's.
Hi thanks again. I do suffer with over heating a lot. Even in winter. But still feel the cold too a lot more than everyone else.
I have read posts from others with hypothyroidism that they are often far too hot aswell. That's why i thought it was maybe hypothyroidism symptoms. Sorry if i'm wrong ☺
Maybe the others have Hashi's too.
Yes that's true. Hashi's is a horrible thing to have 😢
Also do you know what the guidelines are to be diagnosed with hashis officially?
Here are the new NICE guidelines, I haven't read them all so you can look through to see if there is anything about Hashi's.
nice.org.uk/guidance/ng145/...
Not exactly "official" but Dr Toft, past president of the British Thyroid Association and leading endocrinologist, states in Pulse Magazine (the magazine for doctors):
Question 2 asks:
I often see patients who have an elevated TSH but normal T4. How should I be managing them?
Answer:
The combination of a normal serum T4 and raised serum TSH is known as subclinical hypothyroidism. If measured, serum T3 will also be normal. Repeat thyroid function tests in 2 or 3 months in case the abnormality represents a resolving thyroiditis.
But if it persists then antibodies to thyroid peroxidase should be measured. If these are positive - indicative of underlying autoimmune thyroid disease - the patient should be considered to have the mildest form of hypothyroidism.
In the absence of symptoms, some would simply recommend annual thyroid function tests until serum TSH is over 10mU/l or symptoms such as tiredness and weight gain develop. But a more pragmatic approach is to recognise that the thyroid failure is likely to become worse and try to nip things in the bud rather than risk loss to follow up.
Treatment should be started with levothyroxine in a dose sufficient to restored serum TSH to the lower part of it's reference range. Levothyroxine in a dose of 75-100mcg daily will usually be enough.

It may help to print it and highlight question 2 to show your doctor.
Thank you again for all your helpful information ☺
Cortisol problems (too high or too low) can cause lots of sweating in some people. Have you ever done a saliva cortisol test? If you haven't it might be worth it.
The best one I know of is the one by Regenerus :
regeneruslabs.com/products/...
The reason it is best is because it also includes a test for DHEA level and it has sensible reference ranges that don't allow for zero cortisol as a "healthy" result.
Extreme sweating is a big symptom in Graves’ disease ... it wasn’t until after taking Carbimazole .. and becoming Euthyroid that my sweating ... since puberty .. stopped !
Good luck

Hi thanks for the reply. I don't have graves disease. I've been advised on here that i have hashimoto's. My tsh is slowly rising. Upto 3.13 the highest its ever been so heading more towards hypo rather than hyper i think.
I think you’ll find that usThyroid sufferers suffer symptoms common to both HYPER and HYPO.
ALso .. graves and hashimotos disease
It’s nit specific to any particular Thyroud disease My whole family has one Thyroid disease or another
When you become Euthyroid .. these issues will begin to dissipate !
But that can only happen with a good doctor , a good and true diagnosis and the right medication followed by a clever regime of supplementing with the right things to suit !
Good luck
Luv Mx🌹
Hi thanks for the reply. I did think i was having symptoms of both. My thermostat has been dodgy for a few years. Always felt the cold more than others. Used to take a hot water bottle to work in summer. Then just last year it changed to awful heat. Cool baths, fans on and windows wide open. Even in -10 degrees. I still switch between the hot and cold on a daily basis. But.....still my Dr insists no thyroid problems. That's why I do my own private testing now.
Hi, Macey2002. Yes yes yes I have developed this recently and it is driving me crazy because I am used to not sweating at all. But at least once a day (and often more) my armpits get sweaty and dampen my shirts. I am also overheating quite a bit. I have had a few increases in levo recently as my tsh was 6.1 (.45 - 4.5) on 12/3.
Hi there. Thank you for the reply. I am the same. Even on the coldest winter days i have the windows wide open and still sweaty (underarms )
My levels are 3.13 (0.27-4.20) so not high enough for medication yet.
I always assumed it was more a hyper symptom with being too hot
Myself as well. My endo doesn’t seem to want to acknowledge it, but I’ve learned from this forum that, as a previous poster mentioned, you can have both hyper and hypo symptoms with Hashi’s. Have you had antibodies tested? That can show Hashi’s before tsh spikes.
Yes. I have learned that too from this forum. My tpo was >1000 at one point. I've been having private tests done and the tpo and tg antibodies are always raised. But never as high as that now. I know they can fluctuate too. No dr i have seen has ever made a comment on the antibodies. Is that normal?
Is excessive sweating due to too much Levo?
Can excessive sweating be to do with thyroid/pituitary as well as menopause?
