I am dreading going to bed tonight, last night was the first time I had this sensation.
Felt like spiders were crawling over me. Not all night, but enough to wake me up several times. Slapping at myself.

I cant bear spiders, I really dont want the same tonight. Googling tells me its a rare symptom of menopause. It also tells me it might last a year.

I cant take this for a year. I've already done 9 years of peri. I've had enough.
But I do not know how to fix this.
Does anyone?

Are you on HRT?

No, I have been but had to change format because unavailable and cost and just never got round to it.
Have since gone a year with no period. So officially I'm not peri anymore?
