Need help for my mother [skin sensation] [short term memory]
Hello . I have an urgent need for advice for my mother who thinks shes a medical mystery. From reading the posts on the symptoms of peri / menopause, I think this is the situation. Can anyone help me? : Confused:
A little background: A few years ago my mother (now age 51) showed a few of the symptoms on the list . Massive hair loss, the skin feeling bugs crawling over her, the swelling of electricity through her body, short-term memory loss, etc.
Here s whats happening now: About nine months ago, she began having problems with her skin . dry, cracked hands, to the point of the cut. Also has small bumps on the heartless, like her palms. She says her hands taste salty? But the thing is literally driving her crazy is a constant feeling of acid on her tongue. Unlike acid reflux, but as battery acid in her mouth. Her tongue is even cracked in numerous places. The only relief she finds is chews gum as she.
My mother has seen her doctor a few times, and he can not find anything wrong with her. She has blood work was done to see if there is a problem with her thyroid, blood sugar, etc. No problems. The dermotologist says she has exemma (forgive my spelling).
Can someone offer me suggestions for her? I hate seeing her in such pain.
Thanks!

Reply:I think she should be tested for food allergies, because some of those symptoms sound like allergic reactions. She should ask to be referred to an allergist.
Memory Improvement Techniques
Reply:Do a search on this board under peri-menopause or menopause and you should get alot of info. If she is 51 I would think it is menopause not peri. I do know hair loss is a sign, but I'm not certain about those other symptoms you mentioned.

Reply:Have you tried uceran. It is a cream for the skin and is prescribed for ecezma patients. I know I use it. You can purchase it at any drug store. It will help the dry skin that is cracking. It may be a solution for her to try. It is an over the counter and is a little pricey but It has worked for me.
What I have found out is that ecezma is caused by an allergic reaction. If you have a cut and household chemicals (cleaning supplies) got in there and caused a reaction you can develope ecezma.
I hope that she feels better I know what she is going through.

Reply:I agree that gp's or gyno's really are not up on it. I found that when my mom went to a gereatric doctor that he was able to prescribe an over the counter, all natural remedy and has done wonders for her. He didn't believe in putting women on the estrogen that most of the doctors prescribed her in the past. She was very moody and could kill you with her looks with the hormone replacement. I will try to remember to find out what the name of it was but I know she got it at CVS.
I hope she finds what she is looking for to relieve any symptoms she may be having with this inbalance. Menopause really stinks and I guess we will all be going through it someday. (God, I hope not).

Reply:changes in the bodies chemestry can do really strange things. She needs to check out a doctor who knows more about menopause. Not all GP's or Gynocoligists are up on it. While she is waiting for an appointment, she might try a hypoallergenic vitamin. Can't hurt and may restore some of the nutritional balance menopause is unbalancing.
