I am 46 so in the whole possible menopause age range but I have a Mirena coil so no periods to use to judge by. I sleep badly but take anti-histamines for eczema which help with this and I now take nightly. I am much warmer than I used to be (no arguments with DH about the heating but no actual hot flushes).
But....new symptom....need help.
Most of the time, especially in the evenings and at night when it is much worse, I feel as if things are crawling inside me. It is like a kind of internal irritation, almost like an itch on the inside, or a post coffee buzz. I feel sort of antsy and twitchy but the feeling is physical rather than mental. It is really getting to me. I feel a bit like I want to run around, like a kind of twitchy child who can't sit still. But, exercise makes no real difference.
It is beginning to worry me, and make me wake suddenly in the night (in spite of strong anti-histamines) and my worries are compounded by the thought that it might be something else, present in my family (MS) although that is fairly unlikely, it is still a worry.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
