Hormone therapy, or HRT, is effective in managing several menopausal symptoms. If you have conflicting symptoms of fibromyalgia and menopause, then your doctor might consider putting you on hormone therapy to see if your condition gets any better. If it does, which may happen anywhere between three and six months, it can be deduced that you are transitioning into menopause, resulting in the changes. Irrespective of whether you are in menopause or the symptoms are due to fibromyalgia, hormone therapy will help to address both conditions. However, do not go for it without a doctor's advice.
