Hello S.J.C., You're very welcome. I suspected I was writing to a woman going through menopause. :) I'm so glad to know that you're trying the B-12 vitamins and the tea I suggested. Since I now know for sure you're a woman going through menopause I'd like to make another suggestion. Try adding yams to your diet. If you include yams to your meals a couple of times a week you'll be pleasantly surprised at the results as far as your menopause symptoms. I like to wrap the whole potato in foil and bake them, then I just add some butter and salt and pepper. They are packed with wonderful vitamins and minerals and believe it or not they will actually replace those hormones you're body is craving. Thanks for letting me know that the soap helped with your restless leg syndrome. I was really tickled to read that today. It's gotten to be a bit of a contest in my home. Grandpa is forever finding the soap and I'm forever hiding it. It amazes me how much it's helped his leg cramps but he just won't admit it could work. He can be so stubborn at times but I take it all in stride and laugh it off. Take care, Grandma

Dear Grandma, Thank you so much!! I take a B complex vitamin and I start taking B12. I am a woman, 54 years old and in menopause. I take black strap molasses for anemia and I've had my thyroid checked and my Dr. says that it's ok. Prescription meds make me so drowsy the next morning that I raraley take them. I will also purchase the lemon balm tea. Many thanks! SJC PS, I've tried using the bar of soap for restless legs and it works wonderfully.

Hello S.J.C., It's so hard to help some of my visitors at times when I can't tell if I'm writing to a male or female and I have no idea what kind of tests you've had done. My first thought here is that you are being treated for the symptoms and not the cause. Something is causing these problems for your body to react like this. The first thing I suspect is that you're lacking in B vitamins. B vitamins, especially B-12 is known as the nerve vitamin. I'd suggest you start taking B-12 and B-complex right away. I'd also suggest you take vitamin D to help with your immune system. I realize you're looking for some instant relief for your skin and I'd suggest you start drinking some lemon balm tea. This tea is excellent for your nerves, it will help you sleep, and it's also good for your skin. You can apply it directly to your skin, where you're feeling that stinging itch, and let the area air dry. You can read about lemon balm tea if you go to the medicinal tea area on this website. It will tell you how to prepare it and explain what it will help. A product that I have fallen in love with is made by Neutrogena. It comes in a small pump bottle and it's called "Oil-free Moisture for Sensitive Skin". It isn't very expensive (about $10 to $13 for the bottle). I've used it many times for itchy areas of my skin, I even have Grandpa using it. We've used it for dry skin and also for insect bites that won't stop itching. Because of the symptoms your are describing I'd suggest you get your thyroid checked. Another thought is hormone imbalance. You can treat your symptoms with so many products and ideas but you really will never get relief until you figure out what is causing these symptoms and get it treated. Thank you for trusting in Grandma's Wisdom, Grandma
