Hot Flashes and Sweats all day and night!!

I had thyroid disease my whole life, just about.. At the age of 17 the doctor said that I had hyperthyroidism and at 25 years old they said that I have graves disease and a toxic goiter and got treated with ratioactive idoine; now I am 43 years old; I am all the way hypothyroidism and my TSH is 16,566 way over what it should be, it should not be over 4,500. I am having hot flashes and sweats, night and day. I just started back on my thyroid meds. and I have not been taking them for the pass ten months. I had a major surgery on my back, had a 2 level fusion on L4 - S1 and having a lot of pain and still having lots of pain. So I been taking lots of pain meds., I take 750 vicodins and was taking 45mg twice a day  of morphine sul, but the doctor cut it down to 30mg. twice a day and valium plus high blood pressure meds and other meds. but I am taking thyroid meds for the pass three weeks 200mg.. I would like to know could my thyroid meds be causing these bad hot flashes and sweats plus these other meds. and my body temp. is 96.5 which is a low body temp and I am just getting over a cold which I was running a fever which the fever was 99.7 because its hard for me to get my body temp up and when I do have a fever I beleive when my is 99.5 if i didn't have thyroid disease and my thyroid was normal my fever would of been a lot higher then that. please help me I can't take to much more.
                                    Thank you

I can relate to how you feel so much. I also have such severe anxiety and panic attacks that I have been to the ER so many times that my family will just ignore me now when I beg to go to the hospital. They all say ...you know its just your thyroid messing with you!
Well, what the heck...yes it is and it is driving me crazy. I can not stand almost to wake up in the mornings because I know I will be pouring sweat, dizzy, nauseated, and so on. I also have terrible ringing in my ears. I wish I had some good advice for you but I honestly am on here just like you looking for answers. I have an appointment friday with a new Endo. Good luck to you and I am so sorry for the pain and the way you feel. I honestly dont think Id wish this on my worst enemy. Let me know how you are doing along. God Bless

Yes,like right now it seem like I can't get out of bed, for the pass two weeks I have not felt like really eating anything, and these hot flashes are driving me crazy all day and night i can't do anything what the f is going on and i am nausea because i don't feel like eating and I take lots of pills. I feel like I need to be in the hospital, but you know that hospital won't keep you , you have to be dam near dead.

Hi there, I also have had thyroid disease since 21. I was dx with graves disease and hashi and was so hyper by the time they figured out what was wrong with me i was having a thyroid storm. I was 45 when i developed a large goiter and had a thyroidectomy in 2006. I also have sweats and hyper and hypo symptoms at the same time. I just had my blood tests done and the nurse called and said everything is ok stay on your levo , i take 137mcg and feel horrible. I wake up every morning sweating, dizzy, having nausea and so tired. My family is so frustrated with me that they all think i am mental. I am sorry for your own problems and wish you the best. I also have had major back surgery with a fusion and am on lortab and xanax for this anxiety. i have also wondered if my meds are interfereing with my thyroid meds. god bless
