hot flashes

Hello, what do you think? Are hot flashes related to MS or Hypothiroydism disorder?

Menopause was my first thought when reading the title of your post.

I don't know much about thyroidism but I can say that it is more than likely not related to MS!

Good luck,
Paula

Hi. I have recently been diagnosed with MS and have TERRIBLE hot flashes! I am 50 and it could be menopause. However, comparing notes with friends and family, my flashes are much worse than what they discribe. My poor boyfriend, trying to help, turns the air conditioning on, it doesn't help; standing in a blizzard wouldn't help.I start Avonex this week, maybe it will help!

be sure to talk to your doctor about these hot moments and see if there is something that can be done to regulate your thermostat.

hotflashes as us women know them are probably not related to our MS.  I can't answer about the hyperthyroidism.
