She just turned 60 and has been menopausal for several years. She's got that limp squishy fat on jher belly as well. Can't sleep well either. She's definately lacking estrogen.

That's good. At least we can be thankful for small pleasures. It makes our hands look so old. 😡

Wen, we all feel that way at times. But I also think it helps if we know why something happens. I did great at menopause, well if you totally leave out the constant chronic muscle and ligament pain. No one ever suggested that it could be from the lack of estrogen, so I did 4 years of that darn constant pain. Then got into vaginal atrophy and dryness, the next step for me on this lack of hormone thing, and was given vaginal Estrace. (Vaginal Atrophy and hot flases Doctors will treat.) With regular use, all my pain went away. That was more than a little bit of heaven. I had honestly never coorelated a lack of estrogen to muscle pain. But for me it was, and just an accident that I found out what was causing it. I have been doing some estrogen since and no more pain.
Having said that, no I'm not happy with the route I'm taking some estrogen, but boy it's a God send to not live with daily pain. So I'll keep looking and find a way to get it in without some of the things I don't like. Even a small amount helps. but when I tried to go completely off, the pain issue started again. Not gonna live like that.
You can google search the effect of estradiol on the skin. There's tons of research on this.

Are you taking any medications ? Some medications such as heparin or aspirin and some other could cause it . I will also go and check blood counts with your doctor . JUst to be sure . I always had this problem but never diagnosed with anything bad . Hope this helps .

Thank you for your reply. It's good to hear someone else has noticed this. I think I am paranoid about every little thing these days if it not one thing it's another what a nightmare this menopause is .
