Hot Flashes - GONE???
| Tue, 03-01-2005 - 8:31pm |
Hi Everone!
All this time I thought I was going thru menopause (still may be). Hot flashes, and all the other symptoms associated with menopause. Well, went to a general MD and had a blood test done and it was my thyroid......... hypothyrodism. So he prescribed Levoxyl for me. I've been on that for 2 weeks now and the hot flashes have stopped! I'm shocked!!
How does this happen? Does the thyroid have something to do with hot flashes? Also, no period since December..............
Tomorrow I'm going to see a GYN. I hope to have some answers. In the meantime, anyone else stop having hot flashes when starting the thyroid meds?

Hi:
I too was amazed when I started getting what I thought were perimenopausal symptoms (I'm 35)... turned out to be hypo...
Good luck to you!
Dee.
ps. when those periods come back, look out for PMS... it's a doozie on hypo!! :-)
