I have a hard time falling asleep lately and CANNOT get comfortable because my joints hurt so bad . my shoulders are the worst , the pain just keeps traveling down to my arms,elbows,hands,and now my feet hurt especially my big toes.I have to keep moving them so they dont get stiff. I am 51 and Ifeel like I'm 99. I work in a Nursing Home and I see 90 year old ladies still moving around like if they were my age andhere I amfeeling their age! I just dont understand.I am taking Turmeric .has anyone else taken it and felt better?

Try putting pillows under your arms to sleep.
I feel your pain, starting to get frozen shoulder in my left after the right took two years to resolve. The torture never seems to end.

I was up for a few nights with aches and pains. Lifting a coffee cup even hurt. My knee and toe ache, especially when the forcast calls for rain. Cbd oil is what has made a huge difference.

I have heard good things about Tumeric— maybe it takes a while to ‘kick in’. Have you tried magnesium before you go to bed? This could help.

Don’t feel bad… I’m only 39, in perimenopause, and have a bad shoulder ache that comes and goes, and a horrific case of sciatica. And the backache… ugh. I was up 5 times last night.

Yes, i have been miserable with my aching knees, the pain is worse at night than even during the day. My acupunturist said that thats when inflammation settles at night, so that is why it hurts more - i wasnt going to do it, but i am going to have an MRI of my right knee - the pain is relentless & i have been suffering for over 6 weeks - ugh! Today woke up with bad anxiety, does this ever end?

I’m right with you! I cannot fall asleep and when I do I’m awake about 2 hours later and then every 2 hours until the alarm goes. When I do get up, I’m exhausted! My 94 year old mother has more energy than me! I’m 54 and have zero energy and ache all over. I did mention going on HRT patches recently to the dr which I’m seriously thinking of doing as I can’t go on like this. What we have to put up with, eh? take care x

Hi Grace - Thank you for that sweet sentiment - right now, i am not having any “good days” - i am just trying hard to not think the worst, & hoping this is a passing symptom, but my whole body now aches & i really cant walk well freaks me out!
