no temperature

[nowell]

Is it possible to have hyperthyroidism and have a normal temperature. I have so many other symtoms: I eat constantly and am still losing weight. It seems like I have to force more food in all the time just to try and maintain my weight. I have multiple bowel movements a day. And a ton of anxiety symptoms like pounding heart, nervousness, insomnia, fatigue, tremor. Is it possible that it is just the anxiety burning all those calories?

One more thing. They usually say you have an intolerance to heat or feel hot all the time. I really am just the opposite and fell cold a lot of the time.

You have many symptoms of hyperthyroidism - heat intolerance is not always present.  Would discuss with your doctors treatment options for your hyperthyroidism -- ie, anti-thyroid drugs (ie methimazole or PTU), I-131 (radioactive iodine) or surgery.  In the meantime beta blockers (like propanolol) can help the symptoms.

Yes, I had it and I never ran a temperature.
