Hi newbie here trying to navigate the site. 50 yrs old and well and truly into menopause. Went to GP 3 weeks ago as 3 months of insomnia became intolerable. At that point aside from restlessness overnight and hot flushes I was managing ok. Been on HRT for 3 weeks and last few days have been horrid. I either want to cry or kill someone. Aches and pains in shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip and ankle on one side and shoulder acute overnight which also impacts on sleep. Just feel mentally and physically like I’ve been hit by a bus every day and making work really hard. Hone from occasional brain fog to feeling almost detached from my brain completely. Due to go back to the GP in another 7 weeks and assume the best thing to do is sit this out and see if symptoms improve in that time?
