    I used the tumeric in my food instead of taking it. But I was also on a antidepressant at the time. But it did seem to help more. It definitely couldn't hurt to try it.

    Turmeric is a fantastic supplement with many many benefits  however, you have to be careful taking it as it does not mix well with prescribed drugs and even some other supplements. Also if you have gallstones do not take turmeric as it will make gallstones worse. But, like i said it is fantastic read about making your own  golden paste,  Vicky i was going to try golden paste however i have gall stones so am unable to take it. You need to try hard to not focus on your health anxiety i have been there and still am but not as bad. please exercise , stop googling, accept aches and pains as part of this process of menopause and try hard not to let the worry of aches and pains engulf you. Try to cut out sugars and sing and laugh. xx
