A member asked:
Aged 50, treated for graves' disease since august 13. no menstration since january 13. still getting hot flushes, is this graves or menopause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Feeling hot: Good question. Graves usually makes you feel hot all the time, whereas menopause will give you the episodic hot flashes. Are you on medications for graves? What is your free t4? If it is still high, maybe the treatment is not enough, or not working. You are ripe for menopause. A blood lh level should be high is estrogen is down (as in menopause). You may wish to see an endocrinologist.
