Odd symptom for me, face slight hot, burning feeling

Question

I'm adjusting my med back up real slow from what was low. In the distant past I had to go real slow to avoid temporary hyperness.

I'm not shaky, but can get sweaty during the day. Night sweats are minimal now.

**Here is the weird symptom - a hot feeling face, kind of flush. Who else gets this adjusting meds or when you level is off? ** Making sure its not just me?

The whole body flush feeling seems to be way less than last week. Hopefully this is all improving.

As for me this is what I think caused my redness.. My joints/muscles/tendons ached because of the inflammation caused by going hypo. I believe the inflammation also effected my skin. My entire body was inflamed including my nerves. I'm sure the stress and pain wasn't helping either. That's my personal take on it.

Is this a hypo symptom or just a side effect of finding the right level of medication? I have experienced the flushing for 4 years and was told it was rosacea but I am not convinced that is what it is and neither is my dermatologist. I am trying a trial of thyroid medicine and I hope this is one symptom that gets better.

I got this too at first.  It is called "flushing".  It came and went when I started the levo.  I also had what I thought was vertigo as well.  My Doctor called them "menopausel hot flashes" because they are very similiar.  Keep in mind im a 42 male.

My face but mostly neck and chest were super flushed/red when I had gone hypo! Probably the first sign for me that I have NEVER experienced before. A friend of mine commented on how "Red" I was and one week later I found out my levels were off.
It's been months and I'm still red but not as red as I was.. still working on levels. It was like a bad sunburn.
