Hey Ladies..

I'm.... off to see the wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz! Because, because , because, because! Somedays... when I'm going about my normal postmenopausal day, my joints stiffen up as if I'm the Tin Man, and need to be oiled! Are any of you familiar with this symptom?

    Yep!! My ankles and my fingers mostly. They're really bad when I first wake up in the morning. And out of the blue my hips will start hurting so bad I walk like I'm 110 yrs old.

      Hi Gigi..

      My pain is also bad in the mornings, and at times, I too.. walk like I'm 110 years old. Suffice it to say, we are troopers, and we must keep going forward! The old adage is still true: A body in motion stays in motion, and a body at rest, stays at rest. That being said, we must MOVE our bodies, and they must stay in motion to COMBAT the countless symptoms of menopauses or as I some times deem it: MENTALpause.
