« on: October 29, 2025, 04:13:24 PM »

Yep.  Various levels of tension may occur.  Is it at any particular time of day/night?  Is it cyclical?

Which HRT regime has been prescribed and has it helped?  Certainly carpal tunnel syndrome is common during pregnancy, although I don't know which hormone causes this condition, it eventually resolves after delivery. 

MayB think about stressors in your life, could it B that U are clenching your jaw in the night? A dental appt to discuss various ways of protecting the teeth may be helpful.

What R your periods up to as rising/falling hormone levels can cause lots of oddities!

Yes, HRT helped. I am on Femoston conti which has definitely helped with other symptoms. Tension appears throughout the day, and anxiety about the silliest things. No periods for a while since I have been on HRT.
