I am a 32 yr old female that is having serious hot flashes for some unknown reason. I have been experiencing these flashes for the past 2 years with it getting progressively worse over the past couple of months. It is not related to the medication that I am taking (cymbalta) and it is not my thyroid because that has been tested and it is normal. I only feel normal in tempratures below 65 degrees. Can anyone help me to find out what may be causing these symptoms? Please help, I'm desperate! :eek:

Seems like you've ruled out the obvious sources which is good, so it may be early menopause or an ovarian cyst, among other scarier possibilities. I suggest you see your gynecologist and/or an endocrinologist. You should have your FSH and progesterone levels monitored over a month to see first if your levels are within the norm for someone your age, which will identify if you have reduced estrogen or increased testosterone, which may be causing your problems.

Hope this helps!
