Re: To anyone dealing with everyday joint pain

Linda I'm allergic to anything with a stone, pip or seed and diabetic I feel like shooting myself each meal I can tell you

Re: To anyone dealing with everyday joint pain

That's understandable!

The other thing is I'm on a medication (Lipitor for cholesterol) that causes joint pain and can even bring on arthritis. That could be my whole problem right there.

That sounds like the real answer Linda ! Nothing you do with diet will help that I'd have thought.

Re: To anyone dealing with everyday joint pain

Well, menopause isn't helping either, I'm sure. But for all I know, I could possibly have a gluten sensitivity. I have IBS and I also have eczema, two conditions that can be aggravated by gluten. So who knows. It won't hurt to try the gluten-free thing. If my symptoms disappear, I'll know that's what it is. If they don't, then it's most likely simple aging and life changes, as joint pain is a common symptom of menopause.

As I type, I'm also getting a hot flash, lol. I'm a mess.

Re: To anyone dealing with everyday joint pain

As of January, I've gone a full 12 months without a period. So yeah... the fun begins. Actually it started a few years ago, about the age of 49. And what worries me is I've heard women say that their menopause symptoms have last for years. I've heard women in their 60's say they're STILL having symptoms.

So I'm not optimistic about this at all. It could all disappear within a year or stick with me until I'm in the ground.

And they say women live longer than men. I honestly don't see how
