Menopause Support Group
Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.
Anyone experience hives during menopause? I get them on my neck/chest 3 or so at a time and they itch like crazy! PLUS I get itching all over my body. ANYONE else deal with this? Come Feb 15th of this month IF I do not bleed I will be 12 months since my last period! But I have had more anxiety attacks-heart palp and sugar drops a lot this month! Sleep is like HORRIBLE!!!! Acne and dry dry skin! I feel like a sudden aged prune all dried out and through to the waste side!

Hopefully this will be it for you, at least the cycle part of it.
Not sure about this hive thing. I've never dealt with it before but
I do have times when a specific part of my body itches for almost
a whole day but nothing is there. The other day it was the bottom
part of my left leg right below the calf. Last year it was the upper
part of my right arm just below the arm pit. That time it went on
for about a month but again, nothing there. It's the strangest thing.
Could it have been something you ate recently that's new to you?
Or how about shingles? Did you ever have chickenpox before?
Hopefully someone here can help you out. I'm sure this is not
the 1st occurrence of this.
Good Luck and I hope you get to the bottom of this. It makes it
hard to concentrate on anything else when that's going on.
