You should have a simple blood test to check your thyroid function. Have you had one yet? It's called TSH. You may have hypothyroidism, which could explain most of your symptoms. The sweating is strange. Usually hypothyroid people are cold and are sensitive to cold. A good indicator is to take your temperature first thing upon waking in the morning (while you are still in bed). Take it for 3 days in a row during the first two weeks of your menstrual cycle (day 1 = first day of period). Normal first morning temp should be 97.4-97.8 F. If you are consistently lower, tell your doctor. Good luck!
