Here's another idea

I was talking to my sister last night about all the pain and stiffness, and she asked if the doctor had looked at Peri-menopause.  I guess when she started going through the change, she felt like she was hit by a truck every morning when she would wake up.  Today I am sore again, but just the mild pain, I can sleep through this and have come to live well with this pain.  It's when I have those days of non stop bad pains that I can't tolerate any more.  I wanted to post last night but my internet was down.  Oh well, here I am today anyway.
