I'm 16 and I was checked for the thyroid count or whatever a couple months ago and it was fine so why is it that I am SO cold all of the time? I am always freezing cold but once every so often I'll get this hot flash type thing. Ha, I know it sounds weird but I just get this sudden burning hot feeling and I'll have to lie down with an ice pack to cool down. I'm currently not on any medication and since I had my thyriod stuff checked a few months ago, I have NO idea what is going on. Got any ideas that I could check into?

The cold may be cused by anemia (low iron) but the hot flashes sound hormonal. You need to talk to a parent and see a gynecologist.

thyroid blood tests are not very reliable
get a basal thermometer and read up on how to check and chart your basal temp first thing in the morning.
better than a gyn, see an endocrinologist
