Yes! And if I wear my yoga pants, it’ll make me itch. I’ve been applying a lot of lotion. Sarna is great but it smells like menthol. 😵‍💫

Yes!! Driving me crazy at the moment. Hoping it’s also changing weather and it will settle. Worst on legs for me. Have just got some ‘this works’ sleep moisturiser with magnesium to try as it was on offer (pricey though but am a bit desperate!).

What? That’s menopause? I just thought it was a random thing. I get little random itches and think it must be some fuzz. Or a bug, or maybe a nerve getting weird on me.
