What Causes Sweat To Smell Like Ammonia?

My sweat smells like amonia very bad to the point it burns my eyes. I sweat perfusely,even in the winter. My appetite is incredable. I don t do any Cardio but I weight train. My armpits burn as soon as I start to sweat and I ve already switched to aerosol deodorant. I have tried removing majority if body hair but my skin is so sensitive I just end up in pain anyway. My hands have always been shaky and my Joints are all in pain all the time. I ve read these are all symptoms of a Thyroid problem. The hair Between my thigh and scrotem bleaches white and us brittle to the point that it breaks if I touch it
