Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
After going through your query I reached a conclusion that there are many problems , however most of them may be due to ANEMIA .
Feeling of cold and hot may be due to thyroid problem.
As there is deficiency , so please mention the exact report of Iron level as well hemoglobin level.
This is correct that iron ( excess) develops pain in the joints , so take care about that also.
As for dhea you are taking 15 mg that is a right dose ,so keep it up.
Now the most important and foremost reason of your problem may be due to peri menopausal syndrome .
Consult a gynnaecologist / physician and get there opinion and treatment.
Good luck.
