Hi all,
I know it seems a daft question on a menopause forum, but I don't get a burning face.
Today it's really been burning, yet I've been feeling a lot better than in the last week when I had the migrainey symptoms. This prompted my mother to tell me an old wives tale that 'flushes are worth their weight in gold.' Or something like that, apparently they are a safety valve, she was saying.
I don't think so, I think all the evidence so far points to them only being evidence of imbalanced hormones (or am I missing something? let me know)
Either way, I don't get a burning face. Ever. I used to before starting HRT in 2019, but only if I skipped a meal. I checked if my patches were on properly. Yes they are.
The only other thing I can think of is that I was about 4 hours late changing the patch last night ???
Weird thing is I feel like the burning is doing me some good. I can't explain it, but I have energy today.
Anyway, have a good christmas everyone. :)

Mystery solved.
I had half the dose of thyroxine yesterday due to a mix up at the pharmacy. Today, normal dose again. The flushing is recovery from yesterday I think hence why I feel better.
I used to have this 14 years ago too so I think it's more thyroid related. I just forgot about yesterday's low dose.
