Hi there
I've had the sleeplessness, anxiety, flushes etc but have been able to get through them. However, for the last few weeks I've had intense itching which is driving me mad! I've had blood tests, all ok although borderline low iron. I wondered what people have found to be the best treatments? I've done all the allergy stuff, no perfume, new mattress etc etc so I know it's the menopause. I'm taking cetirizine every morning but not doing a great deal, am also moisturising with some eczema ointment which is about the only thing that doesn't sting like mad. Has anyone found any particular cream to be effective or any supplement to be effective? Collagen? Ive just bought some Floradix and wondered if anyone has used this and had any success as apparently when iron is not at a great level that can also exacerbate itchiness? Also has anyone tried acuptuncture? Im reluctant to go on HRT so trying to exhaust all other routes first. AAAAGH!!! And thanks in advance for any tips...
