Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
You may not be getting hot flushes as such but the feeling of heat can be due to menopause or it could be due to hyperthyroidism. You must get a female hormone panel including LH, FSH, prolactin, estrogen, progesterone; thyroid profile, and a temperature charting morning evening to know what is wrong. Do consult your doctor.
Hope this helps. Take care!
Hello to both of you. I am not through menopause yet but I can tell you that if you were both to start using prescription progesterone cream (bio-identical hormone) you would begin to feel much better. Before your get the cream you will need to have your female hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) evaluated. It should help you both with any symptoms you may have. Progesterone will help protect your bones from bone loss. Not many gynecologists use prescription bio-identical progesterone cream. You have to ask around. This is a much healthier way to use progesterone rather that a synthetic. Good luck
Hi I understand completely - I have exactly the same prob. with 'heat' rather than 'hot flushes'
I am now sleeping in spare room with a fan attatched to my headboard which I can easily turn on/off - atleast this is helping me sleep! My 'other-half ' sounds the same as yours!!!
I guess it is menopausal stuff - as I haven't had a monthly for well over a year. I am also getting lots of arthritic type pain and feel like I am siezing-up !! after sitting in one position for a while. I am 49 years - sometimes feel 79!!!!
Best wishes to you
