I find that I fly off the handle and loose my temper so quickly especially with the children. I'm sure this is due to the changes in my hormones. It's easier to talk to your partner about his however I find that it's not such as easy thing for your children to understand

I have had awful trouble with insomnia since starting the menopause. I have recently started having acupuncture and it has helped me no end with getting a better night's sleep. This is turn also helps me to deal with my mood swings in a more rational way

I too have a lot of allergies and they often make my eczema worse. Talking on forums is always a good way to get information and I've found this site particularly useful in gaining information to help me manage both my eczema and allergies.

Good luck.

My child seems to get very hyper after eating foods with certain colourings in. Do you know if you can be tested to find out which colourings you may be allergic to?

I find that many cleaning products (especially those with sprays) make my asthma worse. Does anyone else have this problem? What can I use instead? Look forward to hearing from you. Tx
