Hi not been on for a while. Always log in and see how everyone is coping.

Menopause, fibro, midlife crisis, or what!

Frequent falls, menstrual problems, low mood, numbness in face pain etc etc etc you know how it goes. Saw a doc on friday and according to her it is the menopause! Fibro and for the falls I am getting to that age! I am 49

Ahhhhh

Hi Karen, how nice to see you, though I'm sorry you are having such struggles at the moment. Unfortunately, despite my arduous efforts, I have yet to find an anti anno domini creepeth on a bit, magic potion that doesn't stop my longing for it for all of us Seriously though, I don't think you can put the falls down to your age, I know I take the odd tumble here and there (stop giggling

everyone ) but that is down to my own wish to be more independent than I possibly should be, I think you need to have a word with your doctor again if you are falling frequently without a cause, being 49 wouldn't in my eyes qualify as being old enough for falling without there being a proper reason.

I met the menopause as it were, with a bump, having had to have a hysterectomy in my mid thirties, now I am at the age where I would be expecting to experience such things the only thing that happens are hot flushes and excessive sweating, it I think most of that is down to medications.

Anyway, sorry for the ramble, I hope things start to improve a bit for you and I am sending positive vibes your way

Aww must be awful! I know every time I'm slightly run down my Fibro flairs up, its agony. Hope your menopause symptoms pass quickly and you feel a bit better soon :o)

Hi karencw

I am so sorry to hear of all your problems and I sincerely hope that you can get some resolution as soon as possible. I had a really bad fall in November and broke two bones in my back and broke the right-side disc. I am still undergoing all kinds of treatments and surgery but as of yet, I am still walking with a tri-walker. I am 50 but I think its more the fibro than age.

Please take care
