Oh, me too! I'm 49, fairly fit though overweight, certainly loads fitter than I was a few years back. Definitely meno now, with lovely hot flushes. As for my joints, I loosen up after I've been moving for a few minutes and then am fairly OK apart from my knees, which still twinge during the day when I'm going up or down stairs. When I'm 'relaxing' in the evenings I find it hard to get a comfy position, and sleep was a problem till I started on 10 mg amitryptyline. I'm taking glucosamine (when I remember!) and I go to the gym twice a week, both of which help - but I still move like I'm 90 when I first get out of the bed/chair!
Oh well, it amuses the children....
love
Cath
