menopause really struggling

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi

im really struggling with my menopause systems apart from constant ongoing heat insomnia headaches that feel so heavy pressure in forehead, my neck always seems to tight going into my shoulders but now i have pain going into my arm and cant seem to lift my arm above my head before it causes excruciating pain

Has anyone else experienced this. Is this the menopause or something else. Its just a coincidence that all of this happened as menopause started 8 months ago. My chiro says they are not related same with my gp but im a bit skeptical as I dont think drs know all the menopause systems. they only seems to focus on the insomnia hot flashes part.

Help please.

    I have exactly the same symptoms. My neck muscles going down into my shoulder are so tight that I can actually feel it bulging through. I get pain and weakness down my right arm, accompanied with pins and needles. It all seems never ending.

      Oh no, has it not helped at all? My doctor won't entertain putting me on it.
