I am 53 year old and was given some Prostap to put me into a menopausal state with the idea that it could lead to a permanent menopause! Now 8 months on I have not had another period. I have experienced some mood swings and now the most awful aching in the muscles/joints all over and fatigue. I spoke to a GP who hearing my reluctance to take HRT suggested Paracetamol.
Could this aching in the muscles/joints and fatigue at this level be because I am going through the lowest Oestrogen levels before my body gets used to the lack of this hormone? I went shopping today, drove up the road and felt so tired I didn't know if I could continue. The GP did not suggest checking my thyroid or blood tests but said it should like menopausal arthralgia. I have no health problems with this.
