For instance, If one had started to lose weight, would estrogen stored in fat release estrogen into the system and one would have symptoms of high estrogen, such as hot flashes?
After reading more of Ray's articles I was thinking maybe this new thyroid med (compounded, extended release) is ramping up my metabolism and I am losing weight basically doing nothing different in my eating/exercising. So, I lost 8 lbs in 1 month and previously have only been gaining weight consistently even with hardcore exercise and food restriction in the past....have corrected my way of thinking on that after finding the Peat way.
I was on Armour Thyroid (120mg) for 20+ years but not optimal and still very hypothyroid and is why I wanted to try something else.
I am 51 yo female, so the two dr.s I went to think these are menopausal hot flashes.
I am having these 24 hrs a day and NOT sleeping AT ALL even with sleep aids. Plus, very cold most of the time. So my body is going very cold and very hot, but my actual temp isn't that high--the highest I saw was 98.8 1x but the last few days it is 97.4 to 98.1F.
I am taking Progesterone in vit E, but maybe not enough? 15-20 mg 3x daily. and have tried to take a big dropper full during the night when the flashes are so bad.
I'm not totally discounting it is menopause but they literally came out of nowhere and from what I've heard from people, hot flashes don't continue 24 hrs a day for weeks and weeks.
The other thing is something more complicated and needs further investigation.
I have stopped my thyroid pill now for 3 days to see if they get better.
