Hi claremac,
You poor soul! Please don't let this get you down, be kind to yourself and rest. Do something nice that you really enjoy to cheer yourself up. Tomorrow will be a better day, and if not, the day after. Take each day one by one.
Have you been to a doctor? Perhaps you can get some help there?
I don't have your symptoms, but I'm sure someone will answer your post who does and will be able to encourage you and offer you advice.
God bless you,
Jonie

Clare:

Do you know why you are having the numbness? Sounds like you might have a pinched nerve. I had simliar symptoms that lasted about 1 week. They felt really weird but finally worked itself out.

Just wondering. Try to cheer up and do something nice for yourself. We all know how you feel. I simply get really tired of myself at times too.

By the way, if you get a chance go to the topic "Positive Menopause Exerpiences" and read the thread "1000 Things that Make us Happy". Starting this list and adding to it daily has been very theraputic for me. I think it has helped some other ladies as well. It is fun to read what the ladies say makes them happy. If you are like me you get so engrossed in all your symptoms that you forget to thank your lucky stars for the good things in your life.

Hope you start feeling better soon.
