Glad I read this. One of my daughters is just like that. As I am hypothyroid and she could 'tick lots of the boxes' she had the test and was given Levothyroxine. Within a week she was feeling less hot.

me too. The heat is more than I can handle I live in Canada and I have both extremes of weather but the heat does me in completely I sleep with my window open in the winter. I ride public transportation and the heat is terrible I look at other passengers and think can't you feel this were all gonna die of heat stroke! But when I open a window they look at me like I'm nuts! But it's not them of course it's me. I get so angry that I am so hot I want to yell at the driver "shut the heat off!!!!" again it's me!     And to find out that this complete intolerance to heat isn't a common side effect it's like what? But to read that many other people suffer from this heat hate I feel much better that I am not alone. Well thanks!

P.S. Best of luck to all who live with this.

I also have sx of hypo, but have heat intolerance.  I actually think I have hashi's but PCP won't commit to anything.  See an endo in two weeks -- yipee!!!
