      ive read its because of dropping hormone levels our muscles waste as we get older, weight training & walking are best but im so achy & exhausted it hard :0(

      nina i totally get it, its such a worry when your body suddenly changes. im 46 & 12 months ago was so fit & healthy then bang! it takes me ages to get out of bed i feel 100 years old, back ache & achy sore joints. ive spoke to my doctor today who is trying me a nerve relaxing/pain drug for two weeks to see if it helps im sure a lot of my symptoms are anxiety related too xxx
