Question by Kathy B: Is having hot flashes a part of having thyroid disease, or am I still going through menopause?
I have thyroid disease and I am taking synthroid for it. If I start to get hot I will break out into a sweat. It is like a hot flash. I don’t have night sweats so I know I am over the menopause thing. Does anyone out there do the same thing that has thyroid disease? This is very bothersome to me… a real drag!

Answer by Poopstain
Since you are taking Synthroid, I assume you are hypo. I am hypo taking Levoxyl ( they are all the same stuff) and hot flashes is definately not a symptom for me. As far as temp, you will usually see an intolerance for cold as a symptom. As far as I know, hot flashes are not a symptom of hypothyroidism.

Sometimes men may take antibiotics for a long period of time without any true benefit. In fact, many of these conditions are not infections but simply muscle spasms involving the prostate and surrounding tissue. This is a condition called prostatosis or prostadynia. Treatment for this includes muscle relaxants and warm baths. Hytrin or Cardura, typically used for high blood pressure are also muscle relaxants and have been shown to be successful. These days, however, Flowmax or Uroxitrol are more often prescribed. There are many clinically proven natural herbal and homeopathic remedies that have been shown to promote prostate health in a natural manner without harmful side effects. Certain herbs such as Epilobium parviflorum have been shown to have an inflammation-inhibiting and healing effect on acute and chronic inflammation of the prostate and BPH. Further more, Hypoxis rooperi and Sabal serrulata are also well known for improving prostate health, supporting the immune system and guarding …
