How do i cope whith fibro and the menopause

[Joanne c]

The menapouse seams to have made menny elements of my fibro so much worse I am told it may be the hormones I have had fibro for 18 plus years and it gets worse whith adage a first it was just tolerable whith pain management but now I am a certain adage in my 50s it's just so bad there's allways some thing new and so menny test the momment i am lucky to have a saportive hubby but iam just fed up whith this when I started my doctor at the time told me when the family grow up things will get better but there all grown now and no such luck

I’m sorry I can’t advise, I just wanted you to know you’re not alone and hopefully someone in a similar position may be able to offer some advice. I’ve just turned 40 so not quite at that stage but I’m sure it won’t be long until I’m in the same boat. Our fibro body’s really don’t cope well with any changes at all
