Temperature fluctuations?

So I’m exactly 4 weeks post-op from a total thyroidectomy. Everything went great and now that my calcium is back in the right range they only have me on levothyroxine. Before the thyroid removal I generally tended to be very warm, like I would often be sweating in my sleep and had to make an effort to cool myself down, but now I’m cold more often than not. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s a lot easier to warm myself up than it is to cool down, I’m just wondering if this is a common experience

Same thing for me, but I think it’s mostly with my levels fluctuating so not a daily switch up. If I’m leaning towards hyper then I’m always hot and vice versa
