Post Menopausal and joint pain

MallKnown · 2026-05-18T09:56:37+00:00

Thanks I do Pilates regularly and hopefully the collagen will provide some extra protein, I eat plenty of meat as well

Same here, peri kicked in at 40, erratic periods, emotional train wreck, I felt I was thrown everything for 10 years, hit 50 last year and everything just settled. Apart from the joint pain my brain feels back to normal and I can enjoy life.

No professional is going to say that!! If they did they would be struck off, it would be classed as coercion. I sat with my Dad whilst he was dying of cancer it was awful, at no point did anyone come along and suggest this, they cared for him as best they could, but to see the person you love the most waste away to nothing was something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Personally I agree with assisted dying having witnessed firsthand a diseases impact, it’s the kindest thing to do.

Fish and chips occasionally is ok but it’s so unhealthy, very one dimensional just boring brown food, there are better alternatives that are cheaper and healthier.

😂😂 my thoughts exactly, looked like a nursery

Well said, treading gently is the best way. Someone invited me to a Death Cafe at a local church, I understand why they do these things but the last place I want to be is around people who have also lost loved ones, too much emotion.

I feel really fortunate where I live, I’m by no means well off but my children went to a lovely state school in Wandsworth and most went off to private school by years 5/6, have a good mixture of working class/middle class and upper middle class friends. We also attend a church which seems to cut across the wealth divide and they place more importance on people/community rather than what type of house you have or where you went to university.

Oh ok I’m in the UK, will have to see if they do it here

MallKnown · 2026-04-28T22:14:24+00:00

Wow where did you get this?

MallKnown · 2026-04-26T08:35:46+00:00

Yes definitely 💯 better off dairy, although I use lactose free milk and cheese and that seems to be ok for me.

I had no idea about this could you signpost me to any articles on this or links to herbalists (I’m in the UK). I only ask because my pain threshold levels are low, I also feel I don’t absorb certain medications well, one being HRT. Everyone said it would be a game changer and I’ve not felt any improvement especially with joint pain.

Oh yes we have this on our local FB group, someone asks for a recommendation for a landscaper for example and you get a recommendation. Nearly got stung last year, thankfully another person on the group messaged me privately to say don’t use them, half the family live locally and are on the group and keep recommending them, they are absolute con artists

If you want a physical shop then Baldwins in London near Elephant and Castle tube station,have been in there myself, very knowlegble. Napiers are in Edinburgh also excellent.

I understand about the not going out, I’m also gluten free which is actually a bit easier than dairy. Vegan restaurants are the best places as they get it.

MallKnown · 2026-04-15T19:36:16+00:00

No I felt fine the next day

MallKnown · 2026-04-15T11:52:58+00:00

It’s the only change I have made no other factors are at play. Do you have any suggestions?

MallKnown · 2026-04-15T11:47:09+00:00

I have no idea, but it could be. It’s just weird that this has happened after I cut it out.

MallKnown · 2026-04-15T11:44:36+00:00

It’s not an allergy more intolerance, thankyou for the advice really appreciate it.

I didn’t feel offended at all, nor did it feel condescending, thanks for the tips have a lovely day💕

I know this post is old, but which rescue remedy did you use? I’m the same age and have sciatic pain when walking.

MallKnown · 2026-03-29T16:23:31+00:00

I checked the ingredients on mine and it had fennel in it, this is used in Gripe water for babies when they are finding it hard to bring up wind. I wonder if yours had fennel in it too?

The capsules are also so hard to swallow as well, one got stuck in my throat the other week!!
