Fibromyalgia and menopause

Posted , 3 users are following.

Does anyone have fibromyalgia in this group? I thought my symptoms got better but I feel like the extreme fatigue, muscle pain is getting worse after i thought I got it under control with medication. Does menopause trigger joint and muscle pain? I feel all menopause symptoms are becoming unbearable

    Hey RoulaI have Fibro. Hormones def play a part in worsening symptoms.... I have found though, that sugar makes Fibro symptoms a lot worse for me too, so I eliminated it from my diet ... I also take estrogen HRT (I had a hyster 8 years ago) and have been on it for 4 years which also helped my Fibro symptoms. We definitely copped a double whammy with Fibro and the awful meno ride.... Wishing you a pain free future ahead x
