Hello ladies
I haven't been on here for quite some time, but I need your help!
I am 60 this year and have many symptons from the list Jay provided. I think I am nearing the end of my Peri, although I am still having intermittent bleeding. But now I have another problem..
I have extremely itchy hands!! I do itch all over at times but that goes off, but my hands are driving me insane!!!!!
There is nothing to see which makes it worse, I have been to my doctor and he gave me Betamethasone Valerate 0.1% Topical Corticosteroid. I have to put this on twice a day! But put on what? there is nothing to see apart from red blotches that disappear after a while.. Has anyone else experienced this, I would love to know.
Thank you Lesley x
I really feel for you Lesley. I started itching badly on my face and neck a month or so ago. It was driving me crazy and I was covered in red blotches where I had not been able to resist scratching.
Someone on here suggested milk thistle and I started taking that and it has made a tremendous difference although I still get itchy on my neck and chest. I use an E45 anti-itch cream and this seems to calm it enough for me to stop scratching.
Hope you find some relief xx
I too have itchy neck and upper chest, I get some relief from E45 but not always, I avoid using any perfume and rich creams and this helps a bit.
I know my hands itch a lot I think maybe its just dry but I have noticed myself that my hands do itch a lot.
I am getting itchy hands too esp my left for some reason and also my arms
