Why Am I Experiencing Weakness In My Arms And Legs Along With Hot Flashes?
Question: I'm experiencing weakness in my arms and legs. At the same time breaking out in sweats. I've been diagnosed years ago with fibro,but this is different. Cymbalta has been helping w/that. Very low energy level. Female,76 years old.
Brief Answer:
Possibly a case of hormone deprivation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Going by the mentioned symptoms it seems that you are suffering from hormone deprivation. Such a thing is commonly encountered in perimenopausal or post-menopausal women. If that is the case, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) could provide relief. You need to visit a gynecologist to get evaluated and tested. He would be able to set up the right regimen for you.
Let me know if I could help further.
