Jo,

When struggling with my adrenal issues I did alot of research. What I found

was that it wasn't just thyroid that regulated body temp. but also adrenals.

About the end of the summer I wasn't feeling right and just chalked it up to

thyroid issues. The feeling got worse and then finally day AND night I was

having these spells of heat. I mean HOT, I felt like I was on fire. Oh my

friends said " your just having hot flashes " . This heat got so bad then it

went to extreme heat and cold... no sweating or flushing. I got so I couldn't

sleep more than 5 min at a time. I started looking into adrenal info and

bingo there it was! My Dr discovered the adrenal insufficiency at the same

time and I had already ordered a desiccated adrenal/pituitary supplement and

started taking it. The relief from the severe heat/coldcame within a week or

so of taking the adrenal support. I also took Maca herb (rainforest herb -

www.wholeworldbotanicals.com) All my endrocrine glands were off the charts so

I'm supporting them ALL with some sort of supplement. The endocrine glands

have a domino effect so chances are your tests for hormones will be off(hot

flashes) which can be caused by a thyroid/ pituitary imbalance which affects

adrenals and causes temperature intolerance.

Its been about 1 1/2 months since I started the supplements and I feel soooo

much better. Adrenal insufficiency is not something you want to let go. My

Dr told me there are a great number of people suffering from adrenal problems

that go undiagnosed and unchecked.

 

If you check your thyroid and you're not HYPERthyroid your symptoms sound

like your problem might be adrenals as you can separate hot flashes from the

other type of heat. The hot flashes are another issue that can be treated

with various herb supplements. Hope this helps.
