Antihistamine

[Crackery]

Don't know if this is the right category..!!!

A wee poll

How many woman 40+ take antihistamine daily?

I have since I was about 10!

I don't, but have lots of allergies since Menopause, so probably should.

Me. A Telfast daily.

I did prior to peri-menopause anyway, but have to double my dose some days. I can't drink red wine, though - even dosed to the eyeballs on fexofenadine.

Not daily but frequently.

I sort of did it he form of mirtazapine. Antihistamine but anti anxiety and weight gain drug (grrrt)
.

Is it a thing with meno then?!

Yes, but I have for about 7 years now.

Is this a thing??

Interested to know more. Is this to help with sleep increased cortisol/stress? Or heightened allergies

Yes! I've had a streaming nose for 3 years. I have been assuming I'm allergic to the dog, but is ita menopause thing @Crackery ?

Me but I have done for about 20 years! I'm allergic to everything! Sometimes take a couple a day if I'm really itchy etc

I've been getting leg, feet and hand itches at night and it was disturbing my sleep. Kept meaning to go to Dr. It didn't get around to it. Been happening for about 1.5/2yrs.

I've been taking a piriton every night for past 6 months or so. It has sorted it.

Was away with sister overnight for spa break and turns out she's she same re itches and has got heavy duty antihistamine prescribed for Dr.

Have heard it may be menopause related...

I'm 45

I'm just experiencing a range of perimenopause symptoms but not that yet!

I've heard of dry skin but not itchy - I know some who take collagen supplements for hair & skin support but not antihistamines. As I say that's probably more dry skin than itchy. Sounds annoying.

It's probably worth a chat with your GP ideally who has menopause expertise.
