I have a hard time falling asleep lately and CANNOT get comfortable because my joints hurt so bad . my shoulders are the worst , the pain just keeps traveling down to my arms,elbows,hands,and now my feet hurt especially my big toes.I have to keep moving them so they dont get stiff. I am 51 and Ifeel like I'm 99. I work in a Nursing Home and I see 90 year old ladies still moving around like if they were my age andhere I amfeeling their age! I just dont understand.I am taking Turmeric .has anyone else taken it and felt better?

    I'm right with you! I cannot fall asleep and when I do I'm awake about 2 hours later and then every 2 hours until the alarm goes. When I do get up, I'm exhausted! My 94 year old mother has more energy than me! I'm 54 and have zero energy and ache all over. I did mention going on HRT patches recently to the dr which I'm seriously thinking of doing as I can't go on like this. What we have to put up with, eh? take care x
