@drmaryclaire: Breaking news in menopause. A new review in Frontiers in Allergy confirms what women have been telling us for years and what medicine keeps ignoring. Estrogen regulates your mast cells, your skin barrier, your airways, and how your liver processes medications. When it drops in perimenopause and menopause, allergic disease changes. New onset asthma after menopause. Chronic cough in a third of postmenopausal women. Eczema that will not heal. Hives out of nowhere. Drug reactions to medications you have taken for a decade. This is not anxiety. This is not aging. This is hormonal. And here is the part that should make every woman in midlife furious. The authors themselves write that evidence-based guidelines for diagnosis and management in peri and postmenopausal women are scarce. Allergists are not trained on menopause. Gynecologists are not trained on allergies. You are left to figure it out alone. You are not broken. The system is. We are fixing it. Ask your doctor. Track the timeline. Advocate. Save this for the woman who needs it. 📚 Reference: Valerieva E, Vasileva M, Baynova K, et al. Women hormones and hypersensitivity: allergic diseases in menopause.
