Thank you so much for listing those symptoms! I turned 50 in January, and since summer ended have been experiencing some scary joint pain. Today my arms are heavy, my forearms mildly ache, and the pain seems to travel to my elbows. Yesterday my left knee suddenly acted as though I injured it, but I'm pretty certain I did not. At any given time I experience a sharp shock in my eyeball, torso, and other parts of my body. I've now had 3 panic attacks on the highway in rush-hour traffic... very scary! Of course I have experienced hot flashes as well, and have not had a period since May,(which is the only great thing about this)!!!
November 3, 2017 - 10:07pmWhat an absolute bummer that we as women have this to look forward to after 40 years of menstrual cycles. I guess we're just supposed to get used to this as well. Surely , God is a man.
