@nourishingapothecary: Fibromyalgia symptoms worse in perimenopause? Jess recently worked with a client who had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was also navigating perimenopause. Every winter, her body and joint pain became so difficult to manage, particularly with the colder temperatures, that she would travel north to a warmer climate just to get through the season. This winter was different. After working with Jess on an individualised treatment plan, she was able to stay home for the first time rather than needing to escape the cold. Fibromyalgia is complex, and there is rarely one simple explanation or treatment. Pain processing, sleep, stress physiology, inflammation, physical activity and other factors can all be relevant. Perimenopause can add another layer, with changing hormones potentially influencing sleep, pain sensitivity and overall symptom burden. That is why Jess looks beyond the diagnosis itself and asks: what is contributing to this particular person’s symptoms? Treatment may involve nutritional medicine, herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle strategies alongside appropriate medical care, with the plan tailored to the individual rather than treating every person with fibromyalgia the same way. Jess works with clients experiencing complex chronic health concerns, including gut health, inflammation and women’s health. If you’re struggling with fibromyalgia, chronic pain or complex symptoms and aren’t sure where to start, you can book a free discovery call with Jess to see whether she is the right practitioner for you.
