Try and get those B12 numbers... the lab ranges in US are outdated, and therefore lows are not flagged for the doctors.

They often just glance at labs and if nothing is red they don't examine further. Also many don't know the NEW range starts at 400. So you have to follow up on that yourself. If you are below 400 and in the US, this could be causing nerve damage.

Hashimoto's patients can go hypo to hyper and back again. Some of the people posting on our Autoimmune forum discuss this cycling back and forth.

Night sweats can come from hyperthyroid issues, but also from low blood sugars during the night. Try a snack at bedtime with some protein in (no more than 200 cals) and see if the sweats get better. Low grade infections, also, and possible elevated cortisol (PCOS), and parasitical infections.
