Debilitating pain all over!!!

Try taking Vit D.. I have it in my multi but take extra at night for peace of mind. They say Vit D is very important for the body- I need all the help I can get!!. Also look into Magnesium. I take this at night because I believe it helps with sleep and aches and pains. And then there's Turmeric-- many ppl have success with it.

i’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’m pretty sure menopause only last five years not that that’s any better. I take magnesium before bed

or when I feel anxiety. Have a vitamin D checked mine was super low and apparently that can really mess everything up. When you say every symptom like what else?What has been going on 12 years because 12 years can’t be menopause alone.

hi michelle - Well, welcome to my world...i woke up exactly one year ago with extreme lower body aches (mainly my legs) my ligaments, tendons, muscles, joints can ache & even burn. There are some mornings where i feel like my brain isnt telling my legs to function - mornings are the worst - i am literally crippled - slowly but surely, the muscle pain is creeping into my shoulders & neck area - oh & the really weird thing is i can hear my joints crack (loud)

i have been to Rhumatologist & even though i tested positive for ANA, i do not have auto immune or fibromyalgia & since its bilateral it is not MS - i have gone to PT's, chiros, orthos & all comment on my muscle strength - also, i do yoga & gentle water movement & can do that with ease, its just is walking that is the problem - oh & i am 62, 7 years post - & this came on a year ago - i take Vitamin D, double the omegas, tumeric & a stress vitamin & magnesium glycinate at night & plenty of epsom salt baths...i even spray magnesium oil on my legs - i do get a little relief...btw, no dr can tell me whats wrong, & my bone density is great, so must be lack of hormones - it sucks!

as I mentioned in an earlier post.....every woman should have a B12 test and if the levels are below 1000 a supplement is essential. sublingual nuggets!

Michelle,

You sound like me. I am also two years post menopause and 51. Everyday it is something or multiple things. I can't function like a normal adult. The joint pain is hell. Sometimes I can't stand up or it takes me a long time to work up the courage to move through the pain.

I don't think mine is fybro because of the symptoms most complain of and areas Fybromyalgia they say are the key pain places are not me. I have had ultrasounds on my entire body. All major organs and other than a small cyst on my left kidney they believe is benign I don't have anything they find terrible wrong with me....yet. Sometimes, many times I really feel like they are missing something.

I don't have any children, friends close by and my husband has tuned out my years of menopause issues. I never went through this degree of pain during perimenopause. I had a horrendous peri but this? Is a whole new form of torture.

Health anxiety controls me. It isn't just a pain...Is it arthritis, or cancer, or a serious infection that is where the mind goes to because how can any of this be normal???

To add insult to injury I am in this BV to YI cycle. Clear up the BV and get a YI, clear up the YI and get a BV. My system is so out of whack. I just cry.

I take evening primrose, l-lysine, chelated magnesium, vitamin e and a multivitamin everyday.
