I am a 47 year old woman. in good health - I practice yoga, I am a strict vegetarian, and I am a normal weight. I still have regular periods, every 25-28 days now. I think I am approaching the menopause, or going through it. My symptoms are as follows; I have extremely achy hip joints that sting between ovulation and the end of my period; I am experiencing some facial skin irritation that fluctuates with my cycle, and I have extreme fatigue prior to ovulation. I have tried several homeopathic remedies and various complimentary therapies. Although they help a little, making things bearable, I would really like to find something that stops the pain and discomfort, and the skin irritation under my nose. It feels like eczema - I have never had exczema in my life until now. Any advice?
The fluctuation of symptoms may be following dips in oestrogen at each cycle so you may find taking Menopause Support helpful as this is traditionally used to help gently raise/balance oestrogen.
It does take about 4-6 weeks to kick in so in the meantime, you may find Devils Claw helpful for the joint aches and this tends to work quickly.
Skin issues may also indicate liver stress which can be common in the menopause too so taking Milk Thistle Complex for a couple of months may be of benefit.
