I had no idea this was another peri menopause issue … I was at the doctor about 7 years ago for itching on my legs that would keep me up at night, absolutely maddening, no one told me this could be hormone related. I get sad and angry every time I discover a new symptom I’ve had along the way with no explanation, just a med thrown at me, had I known it was hormone related and hormones were safe if taken correctly I think my quality of life would have been much better and I wouldn’t be in this predicament now..
