Hot all the time

any one experiencing cold shivers instead of hot flush
?how often?

I was warm and also had trouble staying asleep probably got 4 hours sleep each night and was diagnosed as having overactive thyroid in May I now take 10 mg of carbmisole which has helped however I have put in about 4pounds which I presume is down to m metabolism slowing down.

Wow thank you ladies I'm constantly got and sweaty my poor husband has to wear jumpers when he is cold but as I tell him "I can't take anything else off !!"
I will be making an appointment in the morning

I sailed through the menopause - no mood swings or hot flushes - but now, about 12 years later, I find that any kind of exertion like gardening, housework, ironing, causes my face to go very red, and it takes ages to go back to normal. I’m an active person and this is spoiling so many activities for me. Perhaps I should ask my GP what this could be. Could sage tea help me do you think?

However, if it turns out not to be your thyroid then it most probably is due to the menopause. Luckily we don’t have to suffer these days and there are plenty of treatments available.
Don’t be fobbed off by your GP if you are not offered any further help. There is some very useful and up to date information on this website that may be of help.

I am hot all the time too. I do have a slightly under active thyroid & take tablets now but TBH I have had this problem all my life as does younger son. We both had febrile convulsions as small children.
It is very useful in the winter though. I can never wear anything in bed no matter what the temperature is like outside. I sometimes start the night with a nightie on but it is always on the floor in the morning- I don't even remember taking it off!
DH says we save a fortune on heating bills.

Thanks for this. Me too! Making doctor's appointment now to get checked out

Yes top marks for your GP.
I had to ask for a thyroid test along side my annual blood test after one of my work colleagues had had similar symptoms to me.
Otherwise, if the test is negative, sage capsules are pretty good - hope he checked your blood pressure as well !

Yes i thought same,but turns out i had a thyroid problem all along!

Lucky you I suffered for years and it was only picked up during a private health screening.

I'm impressed with your GP. This possibility is not always explored and several times, when, as a social worker, I suggested it may explain certain symptoms/behaviours, I was proved right........ and all improved with treatment....

sage tea or capsules can help.

An overactive thyroid can cause your temperature regulation system to go awry so your GP is correct to test for that.
