Perimenopause and skin tingling anyone?

[Tubbytenbums]

I'm almost 48 and I think going through the peri stage. I'm getting skin tingling all over body and real sensitivity to touch,/pressure. It's unpleasant.
Also sleep issues, brain fog and flooding on first day of period. Period still quite regular although cycle is a good few days shorter
I can cope with everything but the skin tingling is a horrible sensation. Any suggestions? TIA

You poor thing. Try a magnesium bath, loads of moisturiser, anti histamine and one of those acupuncture mats.

Thanks @Jodiewa, I'll try those suggestions

Get HRT. It's wonderful.

I agree that HRT is wonderful! I am perimenopausal too (periods still regular but had an ever increasing list of bizarre symptoms) and started HRT 3 months ago - life changingly brilliant so far.

Yes, my skin crawls and is very sensitive some of the time. Thanks for the suggestions Jodiewa, I shall try them.

I was going to google this tonight as it's a new symptom for me and wasn't sure it was connected. I'm 47 and seem to be adding a new delight to the list every 5 minutes Twice today I've been convinced something I was holding (a knife the first time and a cat littter scoop the second) were wet and dripping water (or worse in the case of the scoop!) on my hand. Nothing at all there when I checked but have had other weird tingling/tickling sensations as the day's gone on. Periods have just started to get a bit erratic, cycle had gradually shortened to 25/26 days over the last year and then recently I went 7 weeks with nothing, bled horrifically for a fortnight then nothing for a week and a half and then a 'normal' period so think it's safe to say I'm in peri Hope someone can recommend something to help OP, will be following in case it gets worse for me too, just a bit irritating for now.

Hi

Just read your post and I have had this issue for nearly 4 years. Tingly prickly skin in my arms and legs clothes seem to irritate it too. I get in most days but some days are worse than others
Very uncomfortable.

@Rainy54 do you think it's related to peri?
I have been using magnesium bath salts as suggested by pp and it has really helped with the tingling. Still feel my skin's sensitive but probably a bit less so

I get it and a rash that gets much worse when I am ovulating. My head gets so itchy too. Plus VA and flooding. And I am snappy. I wish I could just be normal and have hot flushes instead.

Hi
Yes mine started when my periods started to get lighter. I've been to dr. a few times and he said menopause. Does your feel worse in clothes. Mine started when I was 50 I'm now 54. I have it all the time some days it's hardly there other days it's is very uncomfortable. Sometimes mine feels like it burns too.

I think it's asign of low estrogen. I get it at night mainly in my hand and feet. I am on HRT (pill form) but I top it up with a pump of oestrogel every two days.
