OK, so I don't have "HOT FLASHES" at the moment but do I need to get severe "JOINT PAIN" instead? Man, these side effects are amazing. Wish one away and a new one pops up. I really hated the hot flashes but they weren't painful just you know, HOT! They would come out of nowhere. One minute I would be sitting around and the next, I'd be stripping (at home of course) wig, clothes and all. CRAZY!
Now I'm getting severe joint pain. Earlier this evening I was playing with little Cody on the floor. So I'm sitting there watching him put a puzzle together. When he was done. I said lets put this one away and get another puzzle. As I got up off the floor, I almost fell right back down. It's like my joints stiffened up and I couldn't walk. My knee joints were tight but it was where the thigh bone meets the pelvis that was causing me problems. I'll have to look that up on google to make sure I'm explaining it correctly. I know Dr. Wilkinson said this was normal but if it was severe to give her a call. I'm going to have to monitor this. I really don't want to give her a call but if I have to I will. Maybe a little exercise will help. Something I still need to get serious about.
*Side note* A few days later and I noticed that my joints really stiffen up at night vs during the day. It seems that as soon as it hits 5pm, I get stiff and it lasts until I go to bed. Strange?
