My doctor has run blood tests and a check up due to itchy skin, he says it is menopause.?

It happens mostly on my arms and in the morning. Tell me I am no the only one who has this annoying problem.. It drives me crazy.

I have terribly itchy skin. It's the backs of my arms or on my feet usually. I hate it. I have heard that it can come with the beginning of menopause as well. Yeah --- something more to look forward to. Ha!
Reply:Are you Diabetic?This will cause dry skin.Menopause will to.Other med's will.And it could be your detergent.Moisturize every night and after ever bath or shower.Good luck.
Reply:This is the reason why I started to study about alternative medicine. So many times i was disappointed living the doctors office. Once I went to the doctor to check my Thyroid and i was telling him that I really want to loose more weight, and he said to me, that he wishes to look that good like me," just go home, its nothing wrong with you", and I had to pay 278$ for that visit.


Coconut Oil, its very good for your condition. Try it its not expensive, I use it every time I take a bath. I use as a scrub (mixed with sugar)or just like that.

Reply:Are you old enough for menoupause? I'm 47 and I have had several symptoms of pre-menopause and yet every time I go to the doctor, the first thing he tells me is you are to young yet to be menopaual, so I was just wondering. There are so many other things that can cause itchy skin that can cause rashes, from your laundry detergent to your body spray, to your humidity in your home to the humidity in your work enviornment it just seems odd that the first thing your doctor would think about is menopause. If you are using a new skin cream or have changed your cream, same as changing the soap you use in the shower, there are so many thing that can trigger rashes. I had a young girl stay with us, she was from Korea and had never used a north american washer and dryer, and after about 2 weeks here she developed a major rash that covered her entire body EXCEPT her hands and head, so what does that tell you? I began watching her, and when she used the washer she would stand beside it and as soon as it finished washing the clothes she would take them out of the washer and put them into the dryer. I didn't clue into it until after she made an appointment with the Doctor, and even though I explained it to her time after time she refused to understand to the point she moved out of my house. She never let the washer go through the rinse cycle. I know that where she went to live after here, it was the same thing, and her rash never went away until she went back to Korea. So something little can trigger it, then something else can make it worse, you just have to figure out the root first. Good Luck
