Menopause question

[Dollie]

Anyone found that when they go into menopause they have aching joints in bed during the night and when they get up? Just gone into full-blown menopause e.g. sweats, flushes, no periods etc. I'm aged 48- but during the last couple of months find I ache if i roll over in bed, especially in my legs, hips and fingers, and when I wake up I am very stiff for an hour or so. Never had this before, and don't think its arthritis cos been tested for that recently and test was normal. TIA

My meno started when I was 51 Dollie and boy,did the aches and pain begin! Everywhere felt tender but my gp said it was hormonal. I used Horsechesnut Cream for my aching legs and Black Cohosh for the flushes. Flexing your fingers helps. What we women go through eh?

Oh bless ..I know where you are coming from ..did they test you for rheumatoid factor as opposed to general arthritic conditions ?
Failing that it is probably hormonal .Has your GP suggested HRT ...look into it though ....It's not for everyone.It can be a good short term solution to get you over the brunt of it .
In the meantime ..Menopace is good ,Evening Primrose and Black Cohosh for the sweats as josie says ...it will get better ....hang on in :)

thank you ladies - picked up some menopace recently but didnt buy it - will give it a try I think. Cheers x

What does the menopace do? Is it a vitamin supplement?

a combination of black cohosh & wild yam is fantastic. sage is great for the sweats, especially the night ones.
