I am 47 years old. For the last 6 months, I've have joint and back pain in my bones. My montly period is only coming once every 2-3 months. I'm eager to find a solution to these problems.

Joint pain is very common in the menopause and you may find herbs such as Devils Claw helpful.

Dehydration can be a contributory factor so make sure that you are drinking plenty of plain water every day.

Missing periods are often one of the first signs that you are approaching the menopause and is very common. You are in the average age range of 45-55 so it is more than likely you are starting the menopause.

You may also find Menopause Support helpful for your symptoms.

However, it is always a good idea to get your symptoms checked out by your doctor as well.
