Title: Inflamed.
Post by: zipster on January 29, 2020, 01:50:55 PM

Does anyones body feel inflamed that's the only way i can describe it. Fatigue, headaches, stiff back/neck, eye feels inflamed, hip/leg all on one side. It's wearing me out.

Sometimes I feel weary inside and out.

As oestrogen levels drop off so muscles may become lax = aches and pains.  Have you tried an over the counter pain relief?  Also the body may become dry: skin, scalp, eyes, nostrils, deep in the ears, vagina .........

How are your periods overall?

HORMONES  >:(  ::)

Some ladies find that keeping a mood/symptom/food diary of use.  My bleeds waxed and waned for years  ::) until suddenly, gone.

Do try some pain relief to see if it helps.

Hormones can suddenly dip or oestrogen levels drop off almost completely.
