General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears that you have the menopausal changes due to the deficiency of the estrogen, and increase in testosterone which would have caused the curly hair, and hives.
I advise you to consult an endocrinologist for diagnosis and treatment .
He may prescribe you estrogen patch, or tablets, to prevent the deficiency.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
