Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

Sore feet and ankles

So one symptom I have noticed some women have mentioned but I have not seen it on a list. Is my feet and ankles are sore especially when I first get up in the morning. And I have never had any real problems like this in the past. I know the water retention is part of it but walking up stairs from the basement first thing in the morning is tough.

Anyone else experience this, and suggestions. I am treating the water retention with natural essential oils.

Don't know if that is a part of menopause too or something else going on. I noticed lately that my socks leave an indentation (spelling), specially the low ones, so I changed socks. Getting really picky what kind of socks I wear. Maybe you should check with your doctor. Dandelion or Stinging Needles are good to flush the system, I buy them at the local herbal store as loose leave teas. Isn't this menopause crap fun?!

LOL....enchanting, I would like to hear more about the supplements you try and for what symptoms! I'm all about some supplements over the prescription stuff.

I haven't noticed my feet or ankles being sore either. And I started peri menopause at 40. :(

Greatest company on this earth is one that all products are essential oil based, 100% pure oils by doTerra out of Salt Lake City. The supplements are the best I have ever taken. If you are interested maybe I can help you find a distributor where you are. I live up in Ottawa, Canada.
The supplements help with inflamation, temperature control they really do help with hot flashes, I sure don't get them as bad I have read about. They even do help with my anxiety but still need more help. But they help with general health and energy.
You can contact me if you like is there a way to private message on here?

I get my supplements at the local health and herbal store, my information about natural remedies I usually get from earthclinic.com I love that website. Now if I would not drink so much coffee those supplements would work better. Going through a lot of stress lately and my foggy brain is out of disc space so gee how can it get better if you have the stuff standing on the counter, gotta take it so it can work. lol. Being a little (prob. a lot) crazy lately! We all gonna survive this meno crap, just hanging in there and yes I have a big problem with cloth bugging the crap out of me. Every tag is cut out and I found some socks that feel comfy, they are actually boys socks, but gee they fit and they are comfy. Peace and Love my menopause friends.
