Chick,
Did your doc actually say the brain-freeze is menopausal? Good for you to go right over with those sores. My face is a constant mess...it's beyond horrible the last two days, but just the right cheek which is baffling. Believe me, I've looked at every possible cause I can think of. After months of avoiding and/or fasting from every one of those possible causes, and trying just about every remedy available, I'm leaning heavily towards it being hormonal...and looking forward to my full medical checkup at the end of the month.

Eczema is nasty. I have extremely dry skin, which makes me itch and flake constantly, no matter how much moisturizer I try slapping on throughout the day. It's not eczema...someone here suggested that constant dry skin is symptomatic of hypothyroidism, which I'm getting check at my medical. Did you get any special cream for the eczema? I hope it's easing off. Try not to scratch!
