My fibro got much better after menopause..never had any of those weird things that went with menopause also..My gyn said that might happen..that many fibro women have a significant improvement after menopause.. but you cannot take any hormones ( not even natural stuff) because it will effect it_

Mine too the fibro kicked into turbo drive when perimenopause hit. I feel like I am 90 yrs old most of the time. I am taking the hormones and it isn't helping very much, except for the hot flashes. The estrogen got rid of them.

I had fibro all during my menopause, that lasted about 8 years. The thing that got worse for me during it was FOG. I took natural hormones (yam derived) all during and have never heard of not being able to take them. They saved me! I felt like I was going insane before I took them.
Now after menopause, I feel more relaxed and stable and have less fog than ever. But the pain and fatigue are still there.

I don't have menopause but I have a fibroid and I noticed the pains became worse with the growth of the fibroid.

Menopause came and went many years ago, have no choice, but to take HRT as I was so young and the threat of osteoporosis extremely real, 99% certain of it developing. I've often wondered about a connection between fibro and hormone imbalance, but then, what about the guys with fibro??
