Different symptoms hit different people, and in addition to that hypothyroidism used to be called "the great imitator" because it has such a huge and general range of symptoms which could mean anything. Shaking, nervousness and hair loss are all hypOthyroid symptoms as well, and going to the bathroom a lot or sweating is probably for a whole host of possible other reasons, it's not all about thyroid - diet, psychology, and lifestyle all have a part to play too. It is absolutely impossible to have both hypo- and hyper- thyroidism at the same time, since they're opposing disorders (i.e. one is too little and the other is too much) but it is very normal to have some symptoms which could be construed as meaning either, since the symptoms of both are very general.
