constant itching

Hi ladies Ive just been diagnosed with the menapause but looking back this past twelve months I feel ive had it longer. im on the mirena coil still so I have had no periods for years. every now and again i get a terrible itching on my body and arms this lasts for days then goes.I had been taking anti histimines thinking i was allergic to something but couldnt fathom out what. its mainly on my back and arms does anyone else get this please

My sister is going though menapause and on the coil she's also had the itching sometimes really bad and all over her body doctor said down to menapause and body temperature not sure if she had Meds from doctor

thank you for that its reassured me a bit 

I am also menopausal,and experience itching.on my arm back and legs,I take antihistamines,they do ease the itching a bit.i have also had prickly heat,the doctor said it could all be down to your body temperature,during menopause.

thank you lesthats exactly where i get mine and i do take anti histamines when it gets to bad
