Hot Flashes Mar 22, 2008 I also have hot flashes. I am male 45 years old. Honestly the answers i have read on the forum seem a bit flippant. I take Truvada and Viramune. I sometimes break out in a real sweat and get clammy during the day and night. My thyroid has been tested and other levels seem normal. Sure I know it's not menopause but at the same time I am concerned and it is affecting my life and my partner's life. |

Response from Dr. Frascino
 Hey Hot Flash Guy, Flippant??? You find the answers in the forum flippant??? Have you read some of the questions??? They are positively bonkers. Consequently a flippant response would be considered both polite and appropriate for these loopy fluffernutters, don't cha think? Regarding your "not menopause," there are a variety of medical conditions that can cause sweats and feeling clammy. For instance, every time I see Cheney on TV, I experience a total body shiver and feel clammy. Having your thyroid checked was a good first assessment. Certainly other hormonal imbalances as well as a variety of other medical conditions occult infection, etc. should also be evaluated. Your HIV specialist should be able to evaluate this problem for you. Good luck. Dr. Bob |
