Can I get dreadlocks as an orthodox Jewish woman in regards to going to mikveh? If I get faux dreadlocks, would that count as my hair being covered if all the strands of my hair are wrapped completely with fake hair? Thanks!

Question
I am seeing a girl who follows shomer negiah very strictly. I follow it in the way of course prohibiting sexual or sensual contact, etc, but I'll do handshakes and things like that. However, I have a prosthetic in place of my left hand and we were wondering how much this changes things following her stricter following of the rule. I have 2 questions Do things like handshakes and high fives violate shomer negiah? I don't think that things like this feel very sensual and I don't see anything Halachically banning simple handshakes I don't think? Can I high five this girl using my prosthetic hand

Question
I am going through perimenopause and one way that I am suffering is that I am not sleeping enough. Usually I wake up 4am and since I don’t get to sleep till 11pm most nights that means I end up sleep deprived. This has been going on for years, worse at some times, not as bad others. I have heard about HRT and am not sure about it- whether it is halachically permitted, safe or has other side effects that would outweigh its benefits. Ideally I would like a more natural approach to handle it. I wonder how detrimental this lack of sleep is long term to my health. But then I also think that if G-d made our bodies so that we would go through this experience during perimenopause then we shouldn’t unnaturally mess with our bodies because He wouldn’t approve. I was wondering if you could tell me if there are any halachic guidelines about this?
