Hello,
I have had frequent hot flashes since having hyperthyroidism in 2004. My thyroid was treated with radioactive iodine and I went on Synthroid and then a natural thyroid replacement tablet because I was not making enough T3. Even with replacement therapy, I continued to have hot flashes. Compounded progesterone cream has helped reduce hot flashes a great deal. Recently I have had issues regulating my thyroid meds and I went back on Synthroid. It is possible that I may need compounded T3 as I did not do well on Cytomel.
Compounded hormones have been very helpful and I hope that they will remain available.
