Body temperature

Magnolia1

Does anyone else find they cant regulate their body temperature or that your bodies send mixed messages?

I find I go really hot when I need a number 2 or sometimes that makes me feel really tired. 

I have had the hot flushes for a while but now old enough for it to possibly be perimenopause.  Doctor won't get HRT as says I am too young at 47.

  • My temperature is up and down, it's funny I didn't know that could also be 'a thing' for autistic folk till I heard someone talking about struggling to control their temperature on a podcast. 

    I've had two hot flush moments this year (from previously none), and I'm only 41. Though it could have been anything for me, it's really unpleasant and it's rubbish if your doctor didn't do anything helpful -even if they didn't think it was peri, shouldn't they be trying to figure out what it is then? 

    I looked on the NHS site,  www.nhs.uk/.../ and it says: 

    • "It usually affects women between the ages of 45 and 55, but it can happen earlier."

    So I don't understand why your doctor refused to talk about it with you? The very least would be have a conversation about the options and not dismiss you. Very unhelpful, like TheCatWoman said, your could try asking for a second opinion. I've heard other mums talking about your diet can help? 

    Someone made a post about menopause on the forum, if you search you should find it? 

    I don't know if it's relevant, but there is a postcast called 'What's Up Docs', and that had an episode called 'menopause -is hrt for you?' it was interesting to learn more about it all, as I think knowledge from good sources is helpful.
