I have Graves' and I was in Paris last December. I decided to visit the catacombs, deep underground beneath the streets of a frozen Paris. I was the only person in the catacombs who was walking around in jeans & t-shirt; everyone else was bundled up in coats, scarves, hate & gloves. I was sweating so much my hair was dripping wet in the freezing cold.
On the plus side, I have not had the heating system on at home all winter.
Hi It can be any hormonal imbalance. So not just thyroid, you could also have say diabetes which can cause this.If it is just bad night sweats, although most likely OK ,you need to check with a reliable doc as it just sometimes can be a warning of something more serous, it was with me.

Thanks for your reply Jackie. The district nurse is coming I will check it out.
When I became hypo thyroid on Carbimazole I was still suffering from hot times. Once on HRT the remaining sweating moments went. So mine weren't completely down to the Graves.
