Feeling Cold? Is it My Thyroid?

 Does being cold have to do with hormones? I didn't have this problem before my hysterectomy but now it seems while everyone else complains about hot flashes, I can't get warm. My hands and feet are freezing. Is this hormonal?

This is definitely the time to ask your doctor to check your thyroid. Often, after a hysterectomy, the thyroid can seem to sputter around and not work properly. Being cold is a classic symptom of thyroid problems.

Sometimes a woman has this symptoms and talks to her doctor. After a blood test, the thyroid levels indicate they are "normal". While the levels may be normal based on someone's chart, it may not be normal for you.

It is, also, true that having too much estrogen can cause a woman to feel cold. When estrogen is high and the thyroid is low, sometimes lowering estrogen replacement can increase the thyroid.

We know of many women who take iodine therapy as a way of managing their lowered thyroid levels. Others are given a prescription for Armour or synthyroid. Even a very low dosage can be extremely beneficial to managing the symptoms of hypothyroid.

It's important to find a doctor who understands the careful balancing act of hormone therapy with thyroid therapy if you find yourself with cold hands instead of hot flashes.
