How To Regulate Skin Temperature After Thyroidectomy?

Dear Dr, About eight years ago I had a thyroidectomy. Lately, however, I feel cold even on a warm day or when wearing warm clothes. Moreover, although I feel cold in fact I perspire. Is there anything I can do to regulate my skin temperature so as to reduce this problem. Thank you. My age is 67, height 1.53m, weight 65 kg. The thyroidectomy was performed to remove non-malignant cysts.

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I can understand your concern.
One of the main symptoms of under active thyroid and insufficient hormone replacement is low body temperature.
I suppose that you have checked the thyroid hormones during these years and have adjusted the dose of levothyroxine.
I would suggest to maintain the FT3 level at the upper normal range.
