Thank you for your welcome messages.
I have joint & muscle aches which are so bad on waking up especially my feet & ankles.
For the last 7 years all sorts of things have gone wrong with me, I had an op for a prolapse bowel in 2011 & then in 2013 I had sciatica caused by a prolapsed disc in my back this resulted in me being practically bedridden for a year!!!! I couldn't walk more than 20 meters the pain was indescibable. They operated in Nov 2014 to remove part of the offending disc, the bit that was sat on the top of my sciatic nerve root.
Since then I have had tried to get back to fitness but still get some sciatic pain in my bum & leg but also have pains in my neck, elbows, wrists, knee's & ankles.
I suffer at least 1 sometimes 2 migraines a week. I have been to gp several times but he doesn't advise HRT. He said that I have to expect aches & pains at my age!!!!!!!!
I have tried isoflavone, sage , menopace as well as pilates & swimming but I ache even more after these activity's & none of the supplements seemed to work. My hot flushes are constant day & night.
I was put on antidepressants for terrible anxiety but after 2 years I felt whats the point they didn't seem to help much either so I have recently come off of them.
I stil take a multivitamin, glucosamine & magnesium.
I feel tired & fatigue all the time & also desperate. I have always been fit & active I'm not overweight, don't smoke & have a drink maybe Birthdays & Christmas but not always as alcohol seems to trigger my migraine.
Sorry this is such a long post, I also had a call from my 32 year old daughter yesterday telling me that she has breast cancer, I really don't think I could feel any worse at the moment.
