The only exception is when I've had a nap or wake up in the morning...I tend to be overheated then and covered in sweat.
I have a theory that it's due to inactivity...the fact that I just sit or lie in one position all day, does that sound right? Or is it something I should mention to my dr? I don't want to make him think I blame every symptom on the injury...

I am with Mark on this one. The trouble with thyroid is when you are tested your results of pos/neg are based on a national average. So your thyroid maybe suffering. Up your protein levels this is known to help. And yes a little exercise goes a long way to helping control body temp.
