I have a very similar problem (except I'm 36 and nowhere near menopause.) But I've noticed a severe itching, mostly on my feet, at night about a week or so before my period. I have researched extensively, and found something called "autoimmune progesterone dermatitis". I asked my primary care doctor about it, and he says he's never heard of it. I got a GYN referral, and spoke to the head of the GYN department at the most prestigious hospital in my city, and he says he's never heard of it. I am really, really discouraged because this keeps me awake for hours at night!
My conclusion after the internet research was that the best treatment for this is a hysterectomy. Which is NOT a good option for me.
Anyway, I've tried Sarna (itching cream), lotrimin lotion, benadryl lotion, etc. all to no avail. Most other things I've researched suggest it may be a fungal infection, dry skin, etc. But my feet look perfectly normal and I know it's not a fungus or dry skin.
So I'd suggest researching autoimmune progesterone dermatitis, and I hope YOU can find a physician or alternative health provider who can help you with it! Please post an answer if anyone knows more about this!

Mariana Bridi da Costa's hands and feet were amputated due to complications from a condition called septicemia, which restricted the flow of blood to her hands and feet. When she first became ill she was misdiagnosed with kidney stones and by the time she was correctly diagnosed with a urinary tract infection, she already had her hands and feet amputated.
