Hi, I have suffered from itching crawling skin with a sensation of ants crawling and sting you all over. It is a horrible sensation if you have suffered from it!! I have discussed this with many doctors, had allergy testing, blood work, thyroid levels maintained, tried NHRT, yeast free diet, de-tox, and so on.
I notice it seems to be worse prior to my period and when my hormones are fluctuating. I'm always searching for answers...today, I read an interesting article about the 38 symptoms of peri-and menopausal symptoms. It discussed a nonestrogenic herb known as Macafem from the Maca plant that safely treats menopausal symptoms naturally as the body creates its own hormones. Yes, Itchy, crawling skin is discussed!! I also want to try it to help with my Headaches, fatique, PMS, and so on... Has anyone tried this with success? I tried Black Cohosh, Vitex, and others...
I did find that I was Vit. D defecient, very low(12): Vit.D helps your thyroid function. My Endocrinologist put me back on a Rx. Vit. D, and a 5,000IU supple. 3x's a week. I have already noticed less fatique, headaches, and muscle pain has improved.
I take many Vitamins, herbs, etc. but find I have difficulty absorbing them.
I will be having my hormone levels checked, but hate to get back on the pill.
Someone else, posted Levtin for Menopausal Itching. Does anyone have remedies to help with the intense crawling skin sensation??? I take Benadryl, Zanax and a Muscle Relaxer, and still wake up itching all over. It's not the bed-bugs...I bought a new mattress too!! Kind Regards, God Bless all your Health Needs!! D.White
