Multiple symptoms

by Kenny8T1, Aug 18, 2007 01:30PM
I have long term history of itching after bath, shower, or clammy perspiration. This was severe years ago, but now comes and gos.  Certain body washes help alleviate.  Also I have extreme heat intolerance. In temperatures that most people tolerate, I am uncomfortable and any exertion causes a light perspiration with cold skin. In 90 degree temps, I don't leave the AC. Also I feel fatigued in the morning, but as the day progresses, have more energy.  Thyroid was tested several years ago and doctor said it was normal.  I feel it might be hormonal or glandular but don't want to second guess the doctor.

Are you taking any medications ? I know that certain drugs can cause heat intolerance.

Yes, I am taking Lipitor and Finasteride, but these annoying problems go back years before I took any medication.

Do you drink a lot of caffeine ? If so, you may want to consider cutting down and see if that helps your symptoms. If not, then maybe you want to get your thyroid level checked again.... just in case.

Good luck !
