Hi Verii You're welcome, glad to be of help!

Go to your obgyn get your estrogen and testosterone checked and get hormones replaced Estrogen works wonderful!

So glad you found the video helpful! :)

Hi Lavern You're welcome, glad to be of help!

It could well be connected, a sudden hormonal shift triggering a period can use up lots of magnesium and low magnesium can quickly affect muscle function! Also, just be aware that you can get a big dip in iron levels with a period so you may find a gentle iron tonic such as Floradix can be helpful. Best Wishes Eileen

@@AvogelCoUk thank you so much 💛

I am going through that right now. Just making breakfast and legs feel weak. Strange feeling. I had to sit down. How are you feeling today ?

@@lisadunk323 sending lots of love and healing for us all on this journey 🥰 im feeling ok today but my period is late doing its own thing 😃

No problem! If you have any questions please email - eileen@bioforce.co.uk

Thank you! I hope that the videos continue to be helpful.

You're so welcome! :)

Good to hear that this has eased for you! Best Wishes Eileen

Hi Maria Thank you for your kind comments! Yes, falling oestrogen can affect nerve function; and can also be due to low magnesium and/or Essential Fatty Acids. You may find a magnesium supplement, approx 200mg twice a day and either a fish oil or flaxseed oil supplement could be of benefit. However, other health issues could be a factor such as low vitamin B12 so maybe ask your doctor to test for this if they haven't already done so. Acupuncture may also help here so is worth looking into.

A.Vogel UK Thank you so much for your rapid respond🙏🏻 I’ve been on 400mg of magnesium for about two years already, I also take an omega 3 supplement, there has been no change. I was also diagnosed with osteoporosis, at age 47, but, have not wanted to take prescription medications, I am now looking for a GYN who specializes in menopause.

All those are symptoms of low estrogen and testosterone!!! Get it replaced and you'll see them disappear Also you may have OSTEOPOROSIS!! I have it and I know the pain and symptoms This is why the importance of getting hrt Hormone replacement therapy to avoid bone stiffness and osteoarthritis osteoporosis and all the pain sweats and shit

Comfort Biney Google "Menopause & Muscles " 😉

Comfort Biney Hi, I am in agony and have been for a year, it started with digestive problems then my knee swelled up then my ankle then my other knee, i have had all the blood tests going, and xrays, doctors just really dont know , I think i have bursitis and tendonitis bought on in perimenopause all i get offered is pain killers which do not work and i am in absolute agony and can hardly walk. I totally feel for you ive yet to find any relief x

Mystery 13 Try massage with coconut oil organic and magnesium powder with water before bed , hope will help xx

Have you tried turmeric? Or Gymnema? If you have blood sugar problems, then the Gymnema might help. Turmeric helps with pain and digestion. It’s best taken with a meal.

Hi Surbhi Good to hear that the Mirena Coil is helping you.

@@AvogelCoUk ma'am pls answer other query too....y pain is happening n it's not due to mirena loop?

Hi Lolita Please do get these symptoms checked out by your doctor. Feeling thirsty all day and feeling pains in the legs can indicate diabetes and swollen ankles may indicate high blood pressure. Your doctor can test for these just to rule them out. Best Wishes Eileen

Great advice, thank you Sedonia! Best Wishes Eileen

Hi Christina This is a difficult question as it is different for every woman, sorry. The average age range to start the menopause is 45-55 so you are still within the normal time scale.

I’m almost 55, no period in almost 1 year. Will leg pain end after this perimenopause/menopause curse us women have to deal with?😭

I often recommend magnesium citrate capsules as they are easy to find, however, the best absorbed forms are in an Amino Acid Chelate blend such as Magnesium Glycinate or Lysinate or Orotate or Taurate

Hi Alice Every woman will have a unique menopause with different symptoms. Some women will have a few manageable symptoms, some will have a more difficulit time and some lucky women will get through the menopause without any problems; it seems your friend is one of those.

Same with my mom. My symptoms have been a nightmare!

Hi the magnesium product Eileen mentions for leg cramps is Mag Phos. There are two brands which she recommends - New Era No.8 Mag Phos and Schuesslers Tissue Salts Mag Phos 8. I hope this helps.

Hi Dawn If these are still not helping you may find a magnesium skin spray better, you can get tehse from health shops. If, however, symptoms still get worse it is best to check with your doctor as other health issues may be a factor; they can give you a proper diagnosis. Best Wishes Eileen

Hi Lordona Periods coming back are really common and often indicate that the hormonal balance has risen again triggering periods etc. However, it is still wise for your mother to get this checked by her doctor just to make sure that there are no other issues such as fibroids or a prolapse. Best Wishes Eileen

Hi Renee Have you had the dizziness and balance checked by your doctor? If not, it is a good to as this can be caused by a number of different issues. A proper diagnosis can often help to get the right treatment quickly. Good to hear that you're drinking water! Best Wishes Eilen

Hi Lisa Hopefully, the tips will be of help for you but it is also a good idea to get this checked out by your doctor too.

Hi thankyou for your reply , I had to see a menopause specialist an they put me on Estrogel 2 pumps on each arm as 1pump for 2 wks wasn’t effective & Utrogestan 1 tablet a day been on it for just over 2 wks

Hi Abubillal I have not heard of this so It is best to get any kind of leg pain or discomfort checked out by your doctor first.

Hi Debra, DHEA, is one of those supplements that has good and bad press. All I can suggest is that if you wish to try it do make sure that it is from a reputable company and that you are aware of any potential side effects. Black Seed oil does seem to have plenty of benefits, again, with a lot of these supplements it would be a case of trying them for several months to see if they would be of any benefit for you

Have you tried the Mag Phos tablets? These are often very effective for restless legs. Lymph congestion can be another factor, you could try a session or two of Manual Lymph Drainage to see if tht can help. Remember the water as dehydration can be a factor here too!

I have posted a blog on the best diet for the menopause so please do take a look. www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/whats-the-best-diet-for-the-menopause/

Hi Jo I would suggest the Devils Claw for the hip pain. Tingles and restless legs are often caused by low magnesium so you could also take a supplement, approx 200mg twice a day. However, if the tingling is ongoing then it is important to get it checked by your doctor. Other health issues such as low vitamin D, low vitamin B12 and diabetes can also be a factor so your doctor can test for these just to rule them out. Best Wishes Eileen

Hi Snirks - which link are you looking for?

@@AvogelCoUk The magnesium rich foods.

So ture 🙄🙄

Hi Lolita Unfortunately, for some women, symptoms can last a number of years after periods have stopped, however, these can often be caused by other health issues so it is a good idea to ask your doctor for a general health check. Best Wishes Eileen

You must be on hormones replacement therapy!!!

Hi Burning feet can often indicate low B5 and a possible build up of uric acid (do you get joint pains at all?), however, it is really important to get this checked out by your doctor as other health issues such as diabetes could be a factor. Best Wishes Eileen

@@AvogelCoUk Yes, I'm familiar with the diabetes possibility. I made an appointment with a new doctor but can't be seen for at least 3 weeks. The burning toe is only on one spot on the toe. It's on the biggest toe, right below the cuticle. I initially thought it was caused by nail fungal infection given to me by a nail salon, which has been there for years. But that is where the burn stops, except when I place too much pressure on the heel, wherein I get that burn you get when you've walked in heels all day. The toe issue though, is at least a year long, and comes on for days at a time and takes a few days off. The pin pricks in legs started recently, and strangely came at a time where I began seeing hormonal things going on, such as weight gain, depression, cravings for sugar, urinary issues, lightheadedness, shortness of breath here and there, hot flashes, etc. It is strange how I also had it a year ago for a few days and it sparked my OCD/Anxiety, and then randomly went away.

You have gout!!! Google what foods can alter your gout!!! There's many like meat beer trans fats saturated fat Fructose on certain fruits too!! Please research and modify your diet I truly recommend you alkalizing your body by eating more citric foods and greens like Water with lemon every morning and or pineapple celery lemmon juice and ginger in the blender with little iced water will help you a lot

Can you please me what to do for my hot feet Thank you so

Hi Sharlyne Hot feet is often caused by low vitamin B2 so you may find a high strength vitamin B Complex can be of benefit. I would also recommend a couple of cups of nettle tea a day and have a short brisk walk in the evening to help your circulation. Dehydration can also be a factor so remember to drink plenty of plain water every day! Best Wishes Eileen
