Anyone find MP exacerbating other symptoms - for me RA.

[weegiemum]

I have prem menopause (am 40.6 and have been amenoherraeic for a year) and also have Rheumatoid Arthritis.

In the last 6 months my RA has gone off the scale - so stiff am struggling walking the kids to school (all still at Primary), ghastly Raynauds so finding it hard to type/write/sew/knit/paint (all my hobbies). The consulant upped my methotrexate but says its got nothing to do with Menopause - just wondered if anyone else had found similar.

I cant take HRT due to a different condition and am finding it hard to mobilise - just when I had lost over 40lb in weight!
