My itchy arms were caused by an allergy to horses so I discontinued using Premarin.

Hi Catherine,

I would like to pass the word that I am in my 3rd month of my natural hormone prescription and my itchy skin is almost gone. I finally get a good nights sleep and I can sit down and read a book without scratching my self to distraction…Thanks for all your encouragement. Menopause is the cause of my itchy arms! Now I am almost itch free. ~ Rhoda-Ann

After many years and many doctors I discovered that my itchy arms were caused by an allergy to horses that was shown in a skin test when I was a child. I discontinued Premarin and was cured! So much for doctors - in my case at least eight. ~ Nancy

Dear Ladies,

It seems very hard to imagine that itchy skin can be related to hormone imbalance, yet Rhoda-Ann’s case bares this out. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy appears to have resolved her sensation of crawly skin inside three cycles.

I know this personal account generously provided by Rhoda-Ann is going to reassure the ladies who’ve written to me citing a similar reaction to their progesterone cream.

And how incredible is Nancy’s discovery that her itchy skin while using Premarin (PREgnant MARes urINe) correlates with an allergy to horses? Who would have figured? Obviously not her treating physicians!

You do need to vertify that the you are not experiencing a ‘reaction’ to your cream. Make sure you select a cream that’s free from additional hormones, herbs and alcohols, and contains NO animal byproducts or petrochemical based ingredients.

Thank you ladies for taking the time to share with us your success stories.
