I woke up Saturday feeling great (9 months into menopause). I went to the grocery and while shopping, my arm started itching. Then I started itching on my ankles, my forehead, my arms. I thought I was going insane. It was very difficult to finish my errands. I went home and took benedryl which stopped the itching and relaxed my but then I wanted to go to sleep and I couldn't as I had to go to an award ceremony for my niece. The point? During this time of my life, I am not going to commit to any social occasions for some time. I never know from moment to moment when I going to become dysfunctional.
