Welcome to Ichi and Bichi. I'm Karen Nicholl, Family Nurse Practitioner.

In for Ichi and Bichi, the new name for our podcast, Leanne Morgan and I had the podcast

sweaty and pissed and all those episodes actually will be able to be heard on our feed so you

can scroll back to older dates and hear the sweaty and pissed episodes as well. The podcast

sweaty and pissed has evolved and the name has changed and we changed it to Ichi and Bichi,

just one of the many other menopausal symptoms. There were so many to choose from,

unfortunately, but Ichi and Bichi is the new name and I will continue to talk about menopause

and perimenopause, but I look forward to sharing more information on health and wellness with you

that goes beyond menopause. Keep the comments and questions coming on our Facebook page,

which is now called I and B podcast, I and B is a boy or Bichi podcast, Ichi and Bichi podcast,

I and B podcast. It is highly likely that the problem you are having is one that many others are

experiencing. Through Ichi and Bichi, we can all learn from one another. We covered a lot of

material during sweaty and pissed and I know that repetition is the best way to learn so we will

be covering some of that info again. I'm also going to be better about posting on Instagram,

that goal won't be too hard to achieve since I'm terrible at it now. So as often as I can,

I will be sharing brief health tips on Instagram that my patients have found to be very helpful,

so I hope you will find them helpful too. Thank you for listening to us and thank you for sharing.

In honor of our new name, I am going to talk to you today about the itchiest of rashes,

which is called erticaria, or more commonly known as hives. Some people call them welts,

some people call them wheels, but their itchy raised pink or red patches on the skin.
