I feel wretched.....

Im 55 yrs old. My periods are a bit messed up.

I feel like a 90 yr old. My body aches all over. I have a frozen shoulder which im getting sorted but my hip hurts, my arms both ache and my wrist hurts too.

my ears are blocked and im dizzy sometimes. my sinuses are blocked.

i never ever feel well. People say it my hormones, bloods tests last time i had them in october 2016 were all fine.

But i feel ill all the time. its really getting me down.

    Do you have psorasis on your skin?

    Are you really stiff and sore joints when you first get out of bed, and get better as the day goes on, but if you sit down or stop you get stiff joints again?

    Do your fingers look like fat little sausages, and or the feeling of wearing boxing gloves?

    I have had psorasis my entire life, and it has deveolped into a more serious condition, psorasis arthiritis.

    Most Dr's have never heard of it, you have to push through with a rheumotogist for a diagnoses, but you sound like I did before I got help, and that was a long time coming, still have issues but medication helps when you find the right one.

    Your local GP can do some tests that are really simple for the Rheumo type family including psorasis family, they are ESR and CRP blood tests, and checking to see if they are elevated and outside normal range, mine were seriously high and GP had never even suggested those tests which is more than annoying.

    I still do not forgive him for allowing me to suffer for months, kept saying it was post viral syndrome.

    When I eventually saw the speciliast he told me to fire my GP, hopeless he said, and very unimpressed that I had been made to wait so long.

    Sounds like manapause! That's how I was at your age. I'm 67 now and I still get hot flashes! I don't take anything for hormones but maybe you should.

    thank you everyone.

    I just had the crp and esr dont last week , they were normal.

    Everyone keeps saying its menopause but i feel we blame too much on that really.

    I just feel crappy all the time. like something is off kilt. i never ever wake up and feel well. Always some ache or pain or symptom. Im sick of it, i just want a few years of my life to be nice and i want to feel well, its so depressing for me.

    All i know is something isn't right, im not imagining feeling like this sad(
