I'm sorry I don't have anything to add... except that LC has always reduced inflamation and helped my pain levels.

If it's any comfort, I share your pain and bewilderment when your body suddenly decides to go nuts and leaves you staring at some strange old woman who hurts from the nerve level upwards and stares back at you from the mirror each day.

Many have had good results with increased exercise and OTC estrogen cream for the menopause symptoms.

My prayers are with you.
