and i just turned 50...been perimanopausal for 10 yrs now and down
to 4 cycles a yr... i have tried
everything...HRT...herbs...exercise..diet..best thing i have found
is the love of a good man...
10 days ago...i went thru the worst night of my life...4-5 hours of
intense unremitting pain...on the 1-10scale they were 15s..n
involved every muscle from my shoulders to my knees...the pains were
45 secs long...n 45-50 sec. apart... i do not take any medications
normal perferrinf to tough it out...I TOOK OTC pain killers that
night...

i have been at home...on bed rest since...except for a trip to the
grocery store ...we gotta eat...

finally breaking down n calling a 'clinic' tomorrow n getting it
checked out..
I know of one other friend who has gone thru this...but any help or
advice is appreciated...
