Which of these three things is doing what

What I did not anticipate was how much better I would feel once somebody simply acknowledged that three things at once is genuinely complicated.

Coming back to say it settled. Eighteen months, several conversations, one very good appointment, and I now have a week that works.

Recognition rather than advice, if that is any use at all.

What helped was writing everything down and then reviewing it with somebody who knew about both, because separately neither clinician could see the pattern.

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.

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.

The night sweats and the sleep disruption were the things that wore me down, and neither of them was the thing I had gone in about.

I found this circle because I could not find anybody talking about both at once, and it is still the only place I have found where people do.

Three things happening at once and no way to tell which was doing what. That was my whole first year and I know I am not alone in it.

Building on what Fenella wrote rather than answering the original question.

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

What I found is that the general advice is written for a body ten years younger, and adapting it took a dietitian who understood the stage I am at.

Reading this at half past six with a cup of tea and nodding at every line.

I would say the strength work is the thing I would not give up. Everything else has been adjusted at some point; that has been constant.

Nothing here is medical advice, and this is a subject where the interactions really do need somebody qualified looking at the whole of you.
