Hot Flashes Persist Well Past Menopause and Thyroidectomy

Discover the Human Touch in Hearing Technology

--DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 81 and had a thyroidectomy in 2017. My whole thyroid gland was removed. I also had a little bit of cancer. I have started to get hot flashes again. I had originally been on thyroid medicine before and after surgery. Then I was put on levothyroxine and decided to try NP Thyroid. I was doing better on NP Thyroid, then started getting the hot flashes again. At this point, for several reasons, I would rather stay on NP Thyroid for the time being. I was wondering if there is anything I can take for hot flashes? Years ago, in my 50s, I took estrogen, which helped, but this is a different time. I have spoken with other people who are also having hot flashes again. -- Anon. ANSWER: Hot flashes are common -- about 75% of women in North America will experience them around the time of menopause. It’s not uncommon for hot flashes to go away, then return, but I personally haven’t seen them recur after 30 or so years. I’d be concerned that there may be another cause for them, which brings me to your thyroid. Elevated levels of thyroid hormone can cause sensations very similar to hot flashes. One reason that I, along with most endocrinologists, recommend against products like NP Thyroid is because most of those products come from pigs. There are two thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Humans have a different ratio of T3 and T4 than pigs do, with T4 getting converted into the active form, T3. T3 is then quickly broken down, so if it’s used, it needs to be dosed twice daily. As a result, if a person takes NP Thyroid, their thyroid levels are too high during one part of the day and too low during another. This isn’t good for anyone; the “high times” not only cause hot flashes, but also predispose people to atrial fibrillation. But it’s particularly a problem in a person with a history of thyroid cancer, where we want the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH, the hormone in the pituitary gland that regulates the activity of the thyroid gland) to be on the lower side. If the thyroid blood levels get low in the afternoon/evening when the T3 in NP Thyroid is gone, that can theoretically increase the risk of cancer recurrence as the TSH rises in response. So, in my opinion, you should be on levothyroxine, not NP Thyroid. (I do have a handful of patients who take levothyroxine and also take T3 twice daily. Some people are unable to convert T4 to T3 efficiently.) Estrogen is the most effective treatment for hot flashes, but it increases the risk of heart disease when used by women more than 10 years away from menopause. I don’t normally prescribe it to a woman in her 80s. However, there is a new medication called fezolinetant (Veozah), which is highly effective and reduced hot flashes by 93% in a trial. My only patient on it so far has reported 100% cessation of her hot flashes. There are other rare causes of hot flashes, including tumors that secrete substances, such as carcinoid tumors, and tumors that secrete adrenalin-like hormones (pheochromocytomas).

PAW’S CORNER By Sam Mazzotta

Aggressive Dogs Keep Owner Away From the Dog Park 2.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’ve had to change the time of day that I visit the local dog park, because a new neighbor brings his two huge, aggressive dogs each morning at the same time as I do. They charge other humans, chase and snarl at other dogs, and make it impossible for other dogs to socialize calmly. The neighbor does nothing to control them and tells other owners that it’s their fault that his dogs are acting aggressive. To prevent injury to my dog (or myself), I now wait until after work to go. But this is inconvenient for everyone in the neighborhood. How do I address this problem? -- Dog Mom in New York DEAR DOG MOM: You’re doing the right thing by changing the time that you bring your dog to the park. It’s important to remove a dog from a situation you perceive as potentially dangerous or traumatic for them, and protecting them from harm. That’s only the ﬁrst step, however. The new dogs are terrorizing other dogs within the park, making life miserable for them and their owners. It’s not fair, nor is it right. Dog parks within a city or town typically have rules of conduct posted at each entrance, but sometimes they’re vague. It’s up to each owner to properly train and socialize their dogs, and to keep them away from the park if they can’t control rough play, aggression or reactivity. Report the problem to the organization in charge of maintaining the dog park. This may be a community group or the municipal parks department. Contacting animal control is another option. Write down the dates and times that incidents have occurred. If there is no active community group for the dog park, consider starting one so that owners can air their grievances and work out problems as a group. H(c) 2023 King Features Synd., Inc.

Keep track of your progress. Keep a resolutions journal or start a blog that allows you to write about your efforts. If your goal is to pay down debt, make a spreadsheet that tracks your progress. That spreadsheet might be more motivational than simply seeing a loan or credit card balance gradually reduce on your monthly statement. Writing about your trials and errors can help others and also provide a great way for you to explore your approach and tinker with it to ensure your ultimate success.

SOUND CONTROL KEY TO A CALM, RELAXING HOME Inside and out, life can be loud. Retreat from the hustle and bustle of the world by making your home, or specific rooms within it, a calm, relaxing sanctuary. There’s a room in every house that could benefit from greater sound control, whether it’s a home theater, music room, studio, home office, children’s play room, bathroom, mechanical, or laundry room. Insulating properly will allow you to really enjoy your home that much more and achieve a higher level of comfort. Experts suggest selecting a dense insulation with a non-directional fiber structure to combat airborne noise such as music, speech and foot traffic. This insulation material creates an excellent sound barrier that effectively absorbs noise and reduces the transfer of sound waves from one room to another. Its resistance to fire is an added benefit that also adds passive fire protection to your home, a type of fire precaution that is part of the core of the building and will help control fire by limiting its spread. Certain sound dampening measures, such as carpeting, might also help alleviate echo and reverberation, as will acoustic panels that prevent sound reflections throughout a room. With basic DIY skills, you can simply and affordably construct your own acoustic panels using a stone wool rigid board which is effective at reducing the intensity and propagation of noise.

Rental potential and the local labor force: Location is a significant factor to consider when investing in real estate, but recent shifts in how and where people work could change the real estate investment landscape. A 2020 Gartner, Inc., survey of more than 300 financial executives and leaders in the finance industry found that roughly 25 percent will move at least one out of every five of their on-site workers to permanently remote positions in the years ahead. Economists note that this shift to remote working could be among the more lasting trends to emerge from the pandemic. Before investing in real estate, prospective investors should examine local trends to see if more and more locals are working remotely, and whether or not that’s affecting the market for rentals.

INFLUENTIAL JAZZ MUSICIANS Miles Davis (1926-1991): Compared to other jazz legends, Illinois-born Miles Davis was introduced to music rather late. It wasn’t until Davis was 13 years old that his father introduced him to the trumpet, an introduction that would dramatically alter the course of jazz music. Under the tutelage of local music school director Elwood Buchanan, Davis learned to play the trumpet without vibrato, which Biography.com notes marked a departure from the style of trumpet-playing popular at the time. A true pioneer, Davis is considered one of the most inﬂuential ﬁgures in the history of jazz and 20th century music. GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER ● GVPENNYSAVER.COM 1-866-812-8111

Speaking about what you are going through and getting reassurance from other people can work wonders to strengthen resilience. When the desire to quit sneaks up, you can consult with a friend or consider a support group. For example, taking a group class at the gym may be a more effective motivational tool than working out solo.

United Methodist Church of Webster

Form a local business network. When one business on Main Street is thriving, others tend to follow suit. That’s especially true when businesses network in the hopes of creating a bustling local shopping district. Local business owners can organize a network via social media or in person communication. Encourage business owners to share what worked, and didn’t work, as they built their businesses. Local networks also can be a great forum to plan and pitch community-based events like festivals, holiday bazaars and other functions designed to bring more consumers to Main Street.

Sowing Poetic Seeds: Webster’s Ron Friedman Spearheads the Webster Arboretum’s Poetry Trail BY RON FRIEDMAN

he Webster Arboretum at Kent Park (1700 Schlegel Rd.) is a jewel in Webster, NY. “Dedicated to quiet reflection, beauty, sights, smells, and sounds of nature,” the Arboretum’s Association aims to reflect on the past, provide for the present, and leave a memorial and vision of the future. Open dawn to 9 pm seven days a week, the arboretum provides incredible surroundings for relaxation and reflection, perfect for the poet within each of us. Proposed by Ron Friedman, the Arboretum will include poetry from Finger Lakes region poets later this year. Poems will be posted on signage throughout the park. The arboretum is rich with diverse plant material with seasonal interest, from spring blooming magnolias to later season dahlias and the peeling bark of lacebark maples. Texture, color, shapes, and sizes vary throughout the facility. Friedman sees poetry doing the same in a different medium and adds the element of human emotion. He sees poetry in the park’s architecture and finds it a perfect match. The installation of the poetry trail is scheduled for fall. Between now and then, there is a lot to do. Friedman lists grants being written, sponsors sought, and local schools and poetry / arts groups coordinated for contributions. A committee will select poems to dot the trails around the pond and back through the woodland areas. Local poets and educators are already supporting the project. Elizabeth Johnston and Sarah Cedeno, creative writing teachers at Monroe County Community College and the State University of NY at Brockport, agree the project makes poetry more accessible to the community and is a way to expose their students to a larger writing community. Jonathan Everitt, a Webster poet, says solitude is required for his writing effort. However, he also sees a need for a place for poets and writers to gather so they are part of a community. This project includes space for both. In addition to the park’s 12-20 signs with poetry, workshops and readings will lead up to the trail dedication. Local educators and poets will lead groups in writing exercises to unleash the creativity we all hold. Readings will also be scheduled and, depending upon funding acquired, some half or full day events may be offered. The Curry Building will host indoor events and when the weather’s right, the gazebo and pergola areas are ideal for readings. Tents may also be erected for larger events, allowing different sessions. The options are endless in this pristine natural fusion of poetry and nature. Friedman says they seek volunteers for a variety of tasks for the project. If interested, email Friedman directly at ronjf1@gmail. com, and please write Poetry Trail in the subject line. For more information on the Webster Arboretum and the poetry trail project, visit websterarboretum.org/. Donations should specify the poetry trail project.

The Solos

Dear

I want to talk about what I meant to say when the kite broke loose ﬂoating like a leaf into the horse corral north of our school on the hill.

Disease, knit me a Brillo sweater, a yellow cardigan anyone will want to borrow. Tick silently, you invisible clock. Wind the arms long to cover my ﬁngers, to get in the way so I gnaw on ﬁbers instead of morning shredded wheat. Launder it bitter. Scrub my teeth with obscenity. Relapse, lick like a bitten fork. Pierce like a swollen tongue. Rebel or puncture like a needle on skin. Disease, donate discards to the discount store: mismatched socks, Hanes t-shirts with irregular seams. Share discomfort with another patron, you generous thief. No Singer sewing machines, sweet knitting needles can mend a paying patient with a limp shoulder like yours. Relapse, baste a button up where there is no fabric --my jaw, maybe my mouth. Embroider my name on the tag because I’ll forget what it is I’ve said or worn. Relapse, uncomfortable seamstress of clumsiness and fatigue, leave the sweater half-sewn with pins at the seams. Button the wrong holes. Love, I’m forgiving as a missed stitch.

Do you remember its descent? I mean, the sky was blue, more than blue, beyond blue not the idea of blue. The few clouds, beyond the idea of white. Even though we would sing together on the stage it was the solos that still shake the air sways that kite back and forth feathering onto the earth awakes me at night thinking now is time for song. Let’s say, our high pitch can still reach those clouds like an invisible beanstalk with silken slick backed hair like Gilberto’s voice high above the rest. Or simply say, there are times in our lives when no words can describe colors we see beyond blue, beyond white. No sounds to describe pitches we hear. waves of sound and color go far on a warm day. this is a good life. Now, only now.

~ Sarah Cedeno, State University of NY, Brockport. Originally published in The Bellevue Literary Review, 2012

Here’s a Tip * If you lose a contact lens, you can try turning off the lights and using a flashlight held perpendicular to the floor. They sort of reflect the light, and as you move the beam of light across the floor, it will flash. This has helped me many times. I am a little clumsy when I put my contacts in. Thanks! -- R.E. in South Carolina * Great diet control tip: When serving dinner, portion out the meal, then pack up the leftovers right away. You won’t be as tempted to go back and have seconds, nor stuff a few more mouthfuls in when cleaning up later. * I have a medicine that I take with every meal. Surprisingly, it’s difficult to remember whether I took it already when I’m eating on the go or out with friends. I keep small containers in my purse labeled “lunch” and “dinner,” each with one pill inside. Before I eat, I look in the container. If a pill is there, it means I forgot to take it. Then I refill the container when I get home and it’s ready for next time. (c) 2024 King Features Synd., Inc.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel * On Jan. 18, 1990, Washington, D.C., Mayor Marion Barry is arrested and charged with drug possession and use of crack cocaine. Barry was caught on camera at a downtown hotel smoking crack with Rahsheeda Moore, who had agreed to set up Barry in exchange for a reduced sentence on a drug conviction.

He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will ﬁnd equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter.... In winter the stars seem to have rekindled their ﬁres, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity. ~ John Burroughs, “The Snow-Walkers,” 1866 GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER ● GVPENNYSAVER.COM 1-866-812-8111

Riga Recreation Christmas Happenings Kudos to Mr. Erik Reinhart and his Varsity Vocals singing group from the Churchville-Chili High School Music Department for putting on our annual Christmas Concert at the Raymond C. Adams Cobblestone Hall to ring in the Holiday Season. Additional Kudos to Riga’s Secret Santa and his elves...Ryan, Matt, Sue and “Winston The Wonder Dog” as they sleighed the roads of Riga searching for uniquely decorated homes in order to present them with gift certiﬁcates purchased from local businesses. Homeowners were SO surprised by Santa’s early arrival. Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night. David Thomas Recreation Supervisor Town of Riga

Gratitude Finland has been rated the world’s most “happiest” country. Connection with nature, community and simplicity are three of the major factors cited as to the Finnish quality of life. However, there is an over-riding factor that they’ve learned that stands out for them and perhaps for us - gratitude. To quote: “The Nordic countries are united in their embrace of curbed aspirations for the best possible life. This mentality is famously captured in the Law of Jante -- a set of commandments believed to capture something essential about the Nordic disposition,” he explains. They include: “You’re not to think you are anything special” and “You’re not to imagine yourself better than we are.” Which, as Savolainen points out, is pretty much the opposite of America’s endless pursuit of personal and national exceptionalism. This is a great time of year to take stock of what we all have and be grateful. Amen.

[Local Paid Newspaper] Delivery Service I’ve been a subscriber to [local paid newspaper] for 70 plus years. Our new delivery person refuses to drop my paper off at the back of my short drive on the ramp so I can easily pick it up. I’ve posted a sign at my drive asking them to do this to no avail. They drop it in the gutter and if it rains it gets wet and if it snows the plow takes it away. Am I only person in [local town] to have this problem and is there anything that can be done to help? I’m 96 years old!

Fake service animals (dogs) Stop with all these fake service dogs! And stop bringing those fakes into the stores... it’s dirty! They stink. If you have these dogs around people, bathe them please. Don’t just spray them. Dirty and air freshener/perfume doesn’t mix well. The dirty is still there. Seems like any Dr will write off for a *pet. And you can purchase vests online. It’s become too much because you get away with it.

HOW TO CREATE STRUCTURE AFTER RETIREMENT Find something to truly engage in. Professionals who truly enjoy their work tend to be fully engaged, so it’s no surprise if such individuals have a hard time adjusting to retirement. Some may suggest volunteering can help fill the void created by retirement, but researchers with the Sloan Center on Aging and Work at Boston College have found that only those individuals who are truly engaged in their post-retirement volunteering enjoy the psychological benefits of such pursuits. So before retirees dive right in to volunteering as a means to creating structure, they should first exercise due diligence and find an opportunity they’ll find genuinely engaging.
