A month ago I developed a red rash just on
my arms and legs. It was red and angry
and itched like mad. Had anithistimine
direct into vein and a massive dose daily
by tablet. Steroids for a week cured the
rash but my arms and legs are driving me
insane with the itching. Doctor is
referring me to a dermatologist and I have
been taking hrt for a week in the hope, if
it is menopausal, this will sort it out.
Much more of it, lack of sleep etc. I
will jump off a cliff. Any suggestions?

I use lutein -- it is for the eyes,
but also helps with itching.

I
recommend taking the lutein every day. I
itched so bad -- it's called 'phantom
itching' by the way, that my skin was
constantly red. But within two days of
starting the lutein, the itching started
to go away. For good!

Menopause And Itching Posted: 06-08-06 12:17pm
I am martina, I have had itching all over
for over two years I too wanted to jump
off a building, I went to allergist,
gynecoloist, dermatologist, no one could
help me, it was an itching within so it
was not visible any rash I tried
everything on the market for itching, even
anxitiey pill, I did research on my own,
and went and had accupunture, like 5
visits, prayed a lot stopped all hormone
pills and finally I have been itch free
since march. It had all started when I
started hormone pills I even switch to
natural hormones which are very expensive,
well im not taking anything for my
menopause and I feel wonderful. Also
omega with fish oil is very good I started
taking that because the accupuncturist
reccomend it, because you itch because our
skin gets very dry. Now a lot of women
are lucky and have no itching, but a small
percentage do. Thats why when you talk
to doctors they don't know. I learned
this on my own by doing research on
internet and thru different
accupunturis.
Hope I can help anyone out their.

There are many things that can cause you
to itch. I recommend seeing a doc for a
dx first before self-remedying. :?

See my post above on yeast. I chased an
itchy rash around for about two years and
about fourteen specialists before I found
it was related to gluten sensitivity
through reading on the internet. I've
given up most breads and cereals and found
that takes care of it.

That was clever "detecting" on your part.
