In this episode we meet Jennifer. Her powerful story about experiencing joint pain, mood swings, and depression will directly connect you to the emotional and physical struggles that perimenopause symptoms create in a woman’s life. In Jennifer’s case these brutal symptoms have left her fighting suicidal thoughts and deep anxiety.
Jennifer’s story is not uncommon, and the courage she has shown publicly sharing her story will, if nothing else, let other women impacted by severe symptoms know they are not alone. Jennifer's video will also give you hope.
Despite all the hardships, she shares how she has coped, what she has done to keep her marriage sound, and how she has turned this time of turmoil into a means of giving back by starting a company focused on women’s health.
Perimenopause and Menopause Symptoms
The transition to menopause is difficult for many women, and unfortunately, increasing sensations of breast pain, joint pain or muscle pain throughout the body can be part of the experience.
If this is you, don’t despair – there are ways to effectively reduce pain or at least manage it so that your life isn’t completely altered.
Joint and Muscle Pain and Stiffness
Many women experience joint and muscle pain and stiffness around the time of menopause, and in many cases this is pain that they haven’t experienced before. There are many causes of joint pain, and for mid-life women, hormones play a significant role. Estrogen helps to lower inflammation, so decreasing levels of estrogen during the menopausal transition are associated with increased levels of inflammation throughout your body. This inflammation can add to the existing pain caused by old joint and muscle injuries, wear and tear, and just plain aging or it can trigger pain in joints that haven’t hurt before. This is a type of neuropathic pain and can become chronic.
