    Hi Monique, I get achy shoulders and arms too! I noticed that my shoulders are always pushed up and never relaxed. I have to really focus on my shoulders or I end up achy. I dont if you do that but kind of pay attention to see if that is what it is. I will pray for you smile

    Hi Monique, are you taking any herbs or medication? If you are stop them and see if it goes away, medication or if you're allergic to something can cause myalgia and one of the symptoms is feeling weakness or a pulling down on the shoulders. Just thought i'd mention it in case you're on something that may be causing it.

    Totally normal for peri/meno - achy shoulders, back, wrists, ankles - you are not going nuts and it will pass - can take forever but it will. I've endless symptoms, absolutely tons and I cannot even count how many times I've seen a doctor/specialist in the last year - always good to do to ease the anxiety but can't help thinking I'm being z pain in the butt. I'm not taking anything as I want to be in control - sound wierd but I know it will all eventually go one day. Thinking of you and of course keep on at your family - they love you and will always be there for you no matter how annoying it can be for them - my husband's eyes are always rolling up to the ceiling when I keep saying I'm dying of some mystery disease but he's being amazing and finally understands what an awful process this is. Hang in there

      Have you found anything that relieved the aches in the wrist? I use heat but only works for a little bit

      I bought a hand wrist guard, and that kept the wrist from moving and the nerves in place. It was worth the buy.

      I even slept with it to keep the wrist from moving around.

    Do you have problems with your stomach and appetite ? I get this every so often and it makes my anxiety worse , as I feel sick with it . I've been like this all week since last weekend when I had a heavy period and bad migraine and I can't seem to shift the nausea . I know that the heat probably doesn't help and more you worry the worse the symptoms get . It's a vicious circle .I have currently got an achy right wrist . Sometimes I even have trouble picking things up and then it's my left knee that aches . I would just like some reassurance that feeling like this is the norm . It seems that since this time last year I've been living in the doctors when previously I hadn't been for years . I was always fit and healthy I will be 49 next month . Thank you ladies and lots of hugs Jane X

      Drink mint tea or eat peppermint candy. This helps with the stomach issue during this phase.

      Is this quite normal then ? I keep imagining that I have all sorts of things wrong with me. I wish I could be carefree and healthy again . I also have a really heavy, clear discharge even though I only finished my period last weekend . It's only like I've wet my knickers ( sorry for tmi ) , but I feel like we can talk about anything on here . Thank you love Jane Xxx

      Wear a mini pad, it will pass as well. Just takes time while you're going thru this phase.
