Hi,

I have been having numerous symptoms during menopause transition but now just reached post menopause, and many things have been improving also in part to being on thyroid medication for newly developed hypothyroidism. Unfortunately, I cannot take any type of HRT as I am really intolerant to progesterone. One of my main remaining symptoms is that I feel cold often (vitamins, iron etc all looks as expected). Some of this could be due to thyroid medication taking time to fully restore things but I am hoping that this will get better. I exercise regularly and have not had such issues before menopause and thyroid "going off the rails". Do you have any experience with blood circulation post menopause or recommendations or comments on what or where this may come from? Thanks!

I have hypothyroidism which developed in perimenopause...the treatment is a bit of a 'blunt instrument' (my GPs words not mine) to deal with a complex problem. If you have the autoimmune version Hashimoto's, (which I think most have) it can fluctuate so you get the classic symptoms. Also, I would suggest you get your T3 checked as some women can't convert the T4 in the medication properly. It's uncommon but many women do better on a combination including the T3.

I felt something similar after menopause, especially the cold intolerance and generally weaker circulation. My thyroid was tested too, and while things were “within range,” the symptoms still lingered for a while. What helped me slowly improve was consistent walking (even light ones after meals), more warm foods in my diet, and doing hand and foot soaks in warm water with Epsom salt. It sounds simple, but it did bring noticeable comfort, especially during colder months.

For extra support with circulation and sleep, I tried using one of those frequency-emitting devices. For a while now, I’ve been checking out tools like the ones mentioned in a Qi Coil review to learn more about how they might help with recovery and balance. Might be worth a read if you’re exploring non-med options.
