Pharmacists to prescribe drugs for minor illnesses. Pharmacists are fabulous, but they are overwhelmed with safely checking and dispensing. They are unable to use the full scope of their expertise #savethenhs #minorillness #saveourlocalpharmacies https://t.co/nciKramCtv

And 55 years later residents are still being told that mould and damp is the resident’s fault. @Kwajotweneboa and poor housing is one of this year’s shortlist for resolution @WomensInstitute

Itching drives me mad

[Dr Louise Newson @drlouisenewson]

Most of us will have heard of hot flushes during menopause, but there are some lesser-known symptoms that the perimenopause and menopause can bring as well. One of these is crawling skin, which is what we’re talking about for day 15 of #DeckTheHormones.

Women can experience numbness, pins and needles, prickling, itching, or even the sensation of insects crawling over you (which is called formication). It happens because your skin nerve function is affected by the changes to hormone levels in your body that happen during perimenopause and menopause.

Aside from rebalancing your hormones with HRT, some women also find that moisturisers and emollients can help, and also light exercise and relaxation.

Depression can be so bad it stops us doing everyday things. There might be a reason, but there might not be either.

This can be really tough. Watch our latest animation to learn more about it and how we can get the help we need: https://t.co/KEOhALmV2n
