What changed in my cycle in the last two years before it stopped Writing it down partly to work out what I actually think.

Bringing this here rather than to the general circle because the specifics change the answer.

I have brought this up at two appointments and been reassured both times without anybody actually looking at it, which is why I want to go in better prepared.

I have a specialist appointment in six weeks and I want to use it properly rather than spending it explaining background they already have.

I have two clinicians who each manage half of me and neither of them has seen the whole picture, which is how I ended up asking a support community.

Putting the figure in the title felt slightly dramatic, and then I counted, and two years is simply what it is.

Thank you for reading all the background. I know it is a lot and I think it changes the answer.

I had a period of very poor sleep that I assumed was one thing, and it was the other, and correcting it made everything else more manageable.

I want to be plain about what this circle does with something a member has been told was in their head: it does not treat it that way. If that is why you have been slow to post, it is worth knowing in advance.

Gently disagreeing with Hal, or rather adding the other half of it.

My bone health conversation happened because I asked for it, not because it was offered, and I would encourage anybody here to ask.

Something I did not expect was how much the strength side mattered at this stage. Two sessions a week has done more for how I feel than anything else.

The hot flushes were unrelated in my case, as it turned out, and finding that out took a specialist appointment and a lot of patience.

I would say push for a proper conversation about the interaction rather than two separate consultations that never meet.

My sleep, my mood and my appetite all changed in the same six months and I attributed all of it to the wrong cause for a while.

Holding a boundary kindly: we do not compare results in this circle. A couple of replies have edged that way and I am steering us back.

I would gently say do not accept everything being attributed to your age. Mine was, twice, and both times something specific was found when somebody looked.
