Hi, I’m well past menopause as well. Started taking bio identical hormones last year because of the crazy sweating. They helped a little bit. The I started on Low dose naltrexone about 3 months ago. It’s been a game changer. Apparently it’s a hormone regulator, immune system regulator and many other things they’re discovering just from patient feedback. I’m no longer on the hormone treatments and have also no need for thyroid meds anymore.
It took about a month to feel some changes. No it seems I feel better and better every week. My tolerance for heat and cold has normalized. No more sweating! Hope this is helpful.
Yes! I've had this on again, off again. My skin gets very hot to the touch, like I could fry an egg on it, lol. I also get hot flashes. I'm past menopause so it's not related, but it's different in that I don't sweat. It's like being thrown into a hot fire. Comes on in an instant. I have fans in every room and carry a person fan around too. They do help. Haven't found any solutions or actual causes.
I've been taking LDN for about a year now, but it hasn't helped for temperature issues, but has been helping a bit with pain. Wondering how it was determined you could stop taking the thyroid meds. They just recently put me on one,
My bloodwork came back with my numbers too high (or low…not sure how to read them exactly). I was on a low dose of levothyroxine 25 mcg I believe. They said the t3, t4 and ths indicated that I was getting too much. So I’m trying going without the levothyroxine all together for a couple months to see how it goes.
Also, I hadn’t noticed any real difference taking the thyroid hormones as far as energy, slow digestion, fatigue. Since I’ve been on the LDN all of these symptoms have gone away. It appears to be regulating all of my hormones.
I'm on the levothyroxine 25 too, but only for about a month so far. Next labs are in October so hope they'll show better readings then.
The LDN I'm on is the liquid compound at 3.5 ml dosage. It was prescribed over a year ago for a chronic pain that I had before the Long COVID hit. It's stopped that chronic pain, but hasn't stopped or prevented any of the LC pain or other symptoms that I can tell.
I wonder what the difference is, if any, between taking the LDN in liquid or compounded capsule form? I’m on the capsules taking 4.5 mg at night.
I know the levothyroxine can take a month or more to notice changes.
I do know that it took about 2 1/2 months on the LDN at that dosage for me to feel a positive change. Especially in regard to thyroid and energy.
Had temp regulating issue two years postcovid. Completely disappeared.
I am hopeful that my body magically heals from all this. Two years from infection next month.
Ditto - and every single afternoon, I am freezing cold. Poor spouse who works from home as did I but not now because of LC, has to use a fan in his office in the afternoons because I'm so cold. My burning up is usually middle of the night and early morning, some of it is neuropathy and in my legs and feet, some upper body. The minute I'm up, I get chills. No one can find why. My thyroid has been regulated for years. Long past menopause. I think our bodies don't know what to do!
Yes, and it gets worse in the summer, even with air conditioning. Unless it's under 60 degrees with no sun, I'm an unhappy camper. I get exhausted doing the bare minimum and I will be happy when summer is over. Tired and clammy all the time, but I do have trouble in the winter too. It gets too hot and I have to shut the heat vents and open a window.
It's quite maddening and you are not alone.
