Eternal hot flashes (adrenal insufficiency): What helps?

Posted by metriks @metriks, Jul 31, 2023

I have adrenal insufficiency and a failing pituitary gland. I also have almost no T despite injections. Doctors just ignore my hot flash pleas. They come on and last for hours or days. Gabapentin can help but it makes me groggy in the day. Anyone have any experience with this or a doctor who cares? Makes my life miserable but I think they see it as just something minor. Oh I have fibromyalgia as well.

The Gabapentin and Nortriptyline let me sleep at night. But the most amazing, life saving medication has been the Veozah. It specifically targets the hypothalamus so it doesn't send out the severe heat signal causing the hot flashes. And best of all it is hormone free. It was originally intended for menopause which I have had as well for a full decade but it works extremely well for Hashimoto's Disease's heat intolerance as well.
