48 next month and I swear my periods have just decided to do whatever they want now. Last month, three weeks late. Month before, two weeks early and so heavy I had to leave a meeting at work to sort myself out. I sat in that cubicle thinking, I am a grown adult, how is this my life. I've started writing things down on a little paper calendar I keep in my bedside drawer. Dates, how heavy, how many days. It feels a bit daft but I figure if I ever get a GP appointment that lasts longer than eight minutes I want to actually have something to show her instead of going "erm, it's been bad, I think, maybe since last summer?" Also wondering if anyone else is knackered in a way that feels different to normal tired? Like bone tired. I've been trying to eat more iron-y things, lentil soup, a lot of spinach chucked into pasta, tinned sardines which I pretend I don't mind. Not sure if it's helping but it's something. Anyway. Just needed to land this somewhere x
