Can you feel hot if you're hypo?

I have hypothyroid and Hashimoto's, but I always feel hot, not cold. Can you feel hot when you're hypo even though that's usually listed as a hyper symptom?

My thyroid is all screwed up also. I have hypothyroid and Hashimoto's thyroididis, and my feet drive me nuts. I have had to get up many times in the night to cool them off with water for comfort. Even sometimes during the day, when I'm sitting back with my feet elevated, but not like the night.
I have always heard, if you have cold feet or hands, it's from bad circulation.

Hi,
with the thyroid, anything is possible. I am hypo and yesterday was sweaty and hot most of the day. Today, I'm freezing tired and can't seem to get out of bed.

I'm still adjusting to my thyroid issues and getting on meds. this thyroid can be a roller coaster of unpleasant symptoms.

Hang in there. With the great people on this forum, I'm learning my symptoms are quite typical and not crazy.

I too suffer from heat intolerance with my Hashi's.  The only time I am the tabbit cold is when I am sleeping.  Other than that I am hot 24/7!

Anything is possible with the thyroid lol.
I have felt hot on the top part of my body yet cold on the legs and feet.
I have had massive sweats but been hypo.
The thyroid can be very decieving sometimes with symptoms.
