While you are at it, research hypothyroidism. Many women have this condition with menopause.

I too had noticed that my feet were colder then they used to be. I read that in order to help fall asleep and sleep well that your feet should be warm. So I bought a large hot water bottle from this site- www.fomentek.com (http://www.fomentek.com) I got the large one and it is great. I put it in a pillowcase and put it on top of my feet or under. They have a good site. Hope this helps.

A great book on menopause is "Screaming to be Heard: Hormonal Connections Women Suspect and Doctors Still Ignore" by Elizabeth Vliet, MD. It's very thick, but it answered all my questions and covers everything, including thyroid. Very informative!

Thanks to newbie and Cat, The hot water bottle comes out of the closet tonight. And I'll be at the book store today.

I am that way too(thyroid is normal also) The alternative health docs say it is cause your liver is toxic.
My heart pounds hard when I excercise or walk. What causes that? I can not take estrogen.

Maybe you need to have a saliva test for your thyroid.I had a blood thyroid test and it showed nothing. I then had a saliva test done and it show my thyroid was low. I also have cold hands and feet, but since I started on thyroid (natural) it seems to be getting better. Sharlene
