I have become hyperallergic since becoming menopausal (last year or so) is there a connection?

The hormonal shifts that accompany the menopause can have a huge variety of effects, and becoming more sensitive to foods and also chemicals (e.g. things in creams and lotions) is relatively common. Focusing on improving your digestive system can have a good effect because the gut houses heaps of your immune cells and a healthy gut means you're less likely to have your immune cells getting confused and attacking safe things. Try a course of Molkosan Vitality. Also, you may find that drinking nettle tea or nettle tincture calms things down skin wise.
